Seeing a tweet yesterday about Patrice Bergeron’s excellent results last season made me want to dig in a big and examine the Penguins’ performance last season. I also included all the other Metropolitan Division teams in the background of this view in order to reflect the competition. (Except for New Jersey, I forgot to add them in. Poor, forgettable New Jersey). As you would expect for expected goals, a lot of the Blue Jackets, Flyers and Islanders players last season did not drive great results. And then a lot of the Penguins, Hurricanes and Capitals’ forwards are on the right side of this outlook.
