Who threw the most hits last season? Who took the most?

The Habs were the team that got hit the fifth-most often in the entire league last year, but fear not, they're in good company.

In first place there's the Stanley Cup Champions, the Blackhawks, who absorbed 3,063 even-strength hits, while only handing out 1,913 of their own. The Capitals finished second, the Canadiens were third, the Ducks were fourth, and Lightning finished fifth.

The fact of the matter is that hitting generally has very little to do with winning games, but it's interesting to take a look at the results nonetheless.
