With three shots in Sunday night’s Whalers Night win over the Boston Bruins, Dougie Hamilton hit 200 consecutive games with a shot on goal, the longest active streak in the NHL. Three more in the Carolina Hurricanes’ loss to the Capitals last night extended that streak to 201 games. He’s logged 119 shots in total this season for an average of 3.31 shots per game, yet he’s only scored three times.
The problem isn’t unique to Hamilton. Justin Faulk has tallied 105 shots on goal and has found the net only twice this year.
