With 196 goals against, the New York Islanders finished the 2018-19 NHL regular season with the lowest goals against. A record that has won them the NHL’s William M. Jennings trophy. A trophy awarded to the goalie (or goalies) whos team allowed the fewest number of goals against.
It’s been 36 years since the New York Islanders last won the award. It’s also only the second time in NHL history and first time in 100 years that a team does what the Islanders did; go from worst to first in the goals against column.
