According to FoxSports, the St. Louis Blues allowed seven short-handed goals last season. That tied them for 11th in the league. Even more shocking is that the Boston Bruins allowed the most and were tied for 30th with the Pittsburgh Penguins!
Boston did convert on their opportunities 4.9% higher than the Blues. To match Boston, the Blues would have needed to get 15 goals in their next 14 tries to match Boston in total opportunities and goals for.
In those 14 attempts, I don’t see the St. Louis Blues giving up eight more short-handed goals as well.
