A high number of missed shots is generally an indicator of a good team.
Of the top 10 teams in missed shots, 7 are in the playoffs and one is one point out - us. Three of the division leaders are among the top ten, as well as both conference leaders. The only real outliers are Carolina and Edmonton.
In the bottom 10 teams in missed shots, 7 of the 10 are non-playoff teams, and this includes 5 of the 7 worst teams in the league. The outliers in the missed-shots category are Minnesota and Philadelphia.
Missing more shots correlates with winning. Missing fewer shots correlates with losing.
Outside of that we’re almost certainly looking at statistical noise, not a signal of anything.
