Nope, /tangibles/. One team's D are asked to participate offensively, the other team's D are asked to stick to the walls and support the forwards.
Nashville (72GP) D scoring leaders:
Subban - 51
Josi - 47
Ekholm - 31
Ellis - 24 in 34GP
Emelin - 9
Weber - 5
Calgary (75GP) D scoring leaders:
Hamilton - 43
Giordano - 37
Brodie - 32
Hamonic - 11
Kulak - 8
Stone - 6
Do the math. And the dropoff to our #4 is striking, because we thought leaders / defensive defenseman matter (they don't)
