Your team is the best! (At this one very specific stat from the 2025-26 season)
Everybody’s good at something. It’s just a case of figuring out what.
Or at least, that’s how it was explained to me growing up. Granted, those explanations often came from coaches who were cutting me from the team, or concerned teachers whispering to my parents, or over the shoulder of horrified potential prom dates as they sprinted away from me. But the lesson stuck.
And it turns out that it applies to the NHL. Even in a league with 32 teams that range from model franchises to, um, not that, everyone is good at something. In fact, every team in the league is the very best at something. You just have to be willing to dig deep enough to find it.
Digging deep is kind of my whole schtick. So today, let’s go through each team and find at least one positive stat in which they led the entire league during the 2025-26 season.
Your team is the best… in this one extremely specific thing.
