The Carolina Hurricanes finished 10th in the NHL regarding goal scoring last season.
They finished with a “Goals For” total of 266. (see chart below).

One interesting thing is that the two Stanley Cup Finalists were not in the top 10. So how important is this stat?
It would seem that scoring goals would be important, so we will continue.
