Every team plays in ONE building for 41 games, and no two teams play 41 games in the same building. When the statistics you are using are counted differently in each building, that alone is enough to make a valid comparison impossible.

I like the idea of compiling the stat using road games only, and also the idea of correcting the stat with a puck-possession factor. However, those two changes will only fix two of the most obvious problems with a ginned-up number that, I'm afraid, doesn't really mean anything.
