Expected Goals by Season

Regular season and playoffs are summed separately; the regular-season columns match the season totals row on the Scores page. Diff is the difference of the two columns as printed, so it can sit a tenth off the unrounded difference. Only shown from 2016–17 on, since the model's player-quality data doesn't cover earlier seasons. What is xG?
