There are two NHL teams who have allowed 100 or more goals this season, and you probably wouldn’t have guessed that they were the two teams we watched play a tight, one-goal contest (until Jordie Benn’s ENG) today. Perhaps the better way to say it would be that these two teams have allowed lots of goals, as neither has been doing so recently. The Flyers just finished a 10-game unbeaten streak, and the Stars have only allowed (on average) two goals per game for the last quarter of the season.
Interestingly enough, the Stars’ possession numbers have also been trending upwards in the last eight games.
