Just sort by xGF% and you'll have a pretty good idea of where teams stack up. Interestingly, Vegas isn't playing great either.

Four of the top 10 teams according to that stat are
Edmonton - 3rd best team in the NHL
Ottawa - 8th best team in the NHL
Utah - 9th best team in the NHL
Columbus - 10th best team in the NHL
I am guessing it may not be the best stat to judge which teams are the best in the NHL. The Winnipeg Jets are as ####ty as the Flames according to that metric. The Flames were a better team than the Rangers last year according to that metric.
