such a wierd season so far. NJ is really good, while STL, NYR, WAS...etc... hover at 500
whodathunkit?
I mean Washington leads the NHL in man games lost this season, down Backstrom, Wilson all season, missing Oshie and Orlov most of the season. Those are the injuries I'm aware of of the top of my head.
That's their 1C, their 2nd and 3rd best wingers, in addition to their #2 Dman.
Plus, after jettisoning both Vanecek and Samsonov in the off-season...
Kuemper 8-9-2 91.6 SV% and 2.56 GAA
Lindgren 2-3-2 89.0 SV% and 3.51 GAA
I mean, that's NHL average from your starter and bad from your backup.
Binnington 8-9-0 89.5 SV% and 3.27 GAA
Greiss 2-3-2 90.7 SV% and 3.57 GAA
Looks pretty similar in terms of goaltending stats to us as a side note.
