Last season, the New Jersey Devils ranked 17th in the NHL during 5v5 play in terms of shots for. When simply looking at overall production, that is not terrible. It is something that John Hynes and Co. should look to improve this season of course, but in the end it is not like the Devils just did not shoot the puck last year. In fact, 17th was a considerable upgrade for the team, who finished dead last in 5v5 shots in 2016-17, 2015-16, next to last in 2014-15, and 27th in 2013-14.
