The Trotz Philosophy: Shot Quality Over Shot Quantity

As Barry Trotz continues to make his mark for the 13-9-3 Islanders, shot quality has been the running theme of the season. The idea is fairly simple - pass up lower danger shots to try and generate better opportunities to score. A lot of times that is easier said than done, but the Islanders seem to have - at least through 25 games - figured out some of the answers.

At a high level for the season, the Islanders rank 26th in Score-Venue Adjusted Shot Attempt Share (more popularly known as Corsi For) at 46.78% in 5-on-5 play.
