Last 10 games counted back from each team's latest regular-season game. NSH: 10 games, 8 from 2025–26. TB: 10 games, 7 from 2025–26. Rank 1 is the highest in the league, even for attempts against, and a rank is a place, not a grade. Attempts are goals, saves, misses and blocked shots from the play-by-play (even strength means neither team on a power play); a game it did not cover is left out. Past games, not a forecast.

The 6 measures where these two sit furthest apart among the league's 32 ranked teams, over each team's last 82 regular-season games (Oct 2025 – Oct 2026). Rank 1 = highest in the league, even for points allowed. A rank says where a number sits, not which side it points to.
