What's the difference between shots and shots on target?

Minnesota take 15.1 shots per game and put 5.5 on target. Players who shoot speculatively often have a low SOT-per-shot ratio; the context panel surfaces the shots/g funnel so you can see the conversion rate.

Where do these SOT stats come from?

How is conversion (Goals/SOT) useful?
