[CupInSIX]

Less than 20% but more than 10%

It was probably closer to 5% before teams started pulling goalies with 3 mins left

 

[Nizdizzle]

According to this article from April 2016, somewhere around 4-6%.

 

[StoneHands]

This season it's currently 6.7%.

There have been 1,183 goals scored, 79 of them were empty netters.

NHL-wide: like 6%

Michael Grabner: 92%

Joe Thornton always finds the open guy. Sometimes it just happens to be the net.
