They rank second in the league in faceoffs, winning 53.7% of all the puck drops they’ve seen this season. They are number three in shots against per game, allowing only 27.5 attempts get through to either Eddie Lack or Cam Ward.
They are tied for the lowest number of penalties with 232, and ranked second in total penalty minutes assessed, with 512 lost in the sin bin. And finally, when they do get penalties, they are ranked fifth in the league when short-handed, killing off 84.5%.
There is one #1 ranking, though, that at first blush seems like a negative one.
