Why did the Maple Leafs shoot 2% against Columbus

The Maple Leafs had a Shooting Percentage of 2% in the five-game series against Columbus. We’ve all seen that number bandied about. First question: Is that correct?

Sort of. That is the even-strength Shooting Percentage, and is the lowest of any team so far in the playoffs. Worse than the Rangers, the Wild, the Penguins (who got goalied by Carey Price). And worse than the Blue Jackets who shot at very average 7.38% on their way to a victory. Toronto’s ability to do anything even remotely like score a goal at evens was severely limited.

If you look at all-situations, the Leafs are at 5.
