But eyeballing it, I don't see an obvious correlation between SH FO stats and the PK rankings. |

There is not much difference between the best and worst faceoff teams (8.7%). You might expect a small difference like this a random event that should have one of two outcomes 50 % of the time.
AZ the best team, wins about 33 faceoffs a game out of 62 total faceoffs. A difference of 4 per game.
The site allows you to filter for different scenarios.
Ex. Short-handed
Here we see the worst 5 teams at shorthanded faceoffs:
NJ 40.8%
CGY 39.5%
COL 38.7%
VAN 38.5%
CHI 38.0%
Does this correlate to PK success? . . .

NJ has 9th best PK
CGY is 30th
COL is 22nd
VAN is 14th
CHI is 17th
Of the top 10 faceoff teams, 6 are not currently playoff teams.
