Found this:

Within the breakaway category are three types that goalies face. “There’s the full breakaway that happens from the red line in,” Valiquette said on this week’s episode of The Garden Faithful. “The partial breakaway, which is typically off a turnover or breakdown, and that happens from the top of the circles. A little bit more of an element of surprise for goalies. Then the third type is a half-ice partial breakaway, when your teammate is tracking back through the middle of the ice. So your defenseman is not allowing the puck carrier to have access to the other side of the ice. It’s really a clear read for the goalie, one on one. There is room for the puck carrier but he will not be able to cross the ice.”

According to the Clear Sight data from the entire league last season, full breakaways were successful 31 percent of the time. Partial breakaways were at 25.6 percent and half-ice partials were 18.2 percent — anything below a 20 percent success rate is deemed a mid-danger scoring chance, where the first two are high-danger based on the data.
