The Canadiens' shooting percentage is extremely troubling

In the playoffs so far, the Montreal Canadiens are averaging 1.86 goals per game played. If you take out empty net goals, that drops to 1.71 per game. Even more striking, over their last five games, the Canadiens have scored just five goals, just one per game, and when you consider overtime, they're scoring just 0.91 goals per 60 minutes played.

The problem for the Habs hasn't been shot generation over this time, they've averaged an impressive 37.2 shots on goal per game, or 33.7 per 60 minutes. As we've looked at before, the Habs aren't exactly getting great scoring chances compared to their opponents.
