New Jersey Devils: Penalty Kill Can Lead To Successful Season

The New Jersey Devils were pretty average at most stats as a team last season. They were smack dab in the middle of the league with 3.0 goals per game. They ranked 17th in goals against, and barely broke the top ten in power play goals. The only real aspect of the Devils game that was tops in the league was their penalty kill.

The Devils ranked 8th in the league with a 81.8% penalty kill. This team collectively spent 694 minutes in the penalty box, around the middle of the league. They take about as many penalties as give, which means they need to keep the power play goals out of their own net.
