Last season, the New Jersey Devils were one of the worst possession teams in the league, posting a 47.2% Corsi at 5 on 5 play. The only teams that were worse were Toronto, Calgary, Colorado and Buffalo. The Devils were over 8 percentage points behind Los Angeles, who led the league in this category with a 55.4% Corsi For. The poor possession shown by New Jersey was an anomaly for this team in recent seasons, and especially this team while under Peter DeBoer. Over the last few seasons, NJ was one of the best possession teams in the league, posting a very solid 54.
