The shots against are skewed by how bad Vancouver and Buffalo were in getting shots to the net!

I believe the teams goals against and shots against have actually been markedly improved since they took the back to back beat downs early in January to Phoenix and St.Louis,

Just looking at it they've allowed 60 goals against in their last 25 games (excluding shootout goals against) which is 2.4 GAA per game and projects to 200+/- total goals allowed over an entire season if you factor in shootout loss goals. I would guess the shots against correlates with that too. Big change from the first couple months where the team was well over 3 goals against on average.

I saw a graphic for the Oilers last night how they have lowered their GAA dramatically since Scrivens was acquired. Their goals per game had been down to about 2.28, but their GAA was about the same....their record was 9-4-3 in that time frame. Unless you are the Sabres...it is tough to lose regularly when you only allow a shade over 2 goals against per game.
