Washington - 2nd
Colorado - 3rd
Winnipeg - 4th
Toronto - 5th
Minnesota - 6th
Vegas - 8th
Nashville - 9th
Boston - 10th
Pittsburgh - 11th
Philadelphia - 12th
Anaheim - 13th
L.A. - 14th
New Jersey - 15th
San Jose - 16th
Columbus - 22nd
So is SH% a controllable factor or not? Because New York Islanders and Columbus Blue Jackets were the only outliers to miss/make the playoffs.

Tells me his teams are far too north/south style, top teams now are quick, up the ice and a lot of east/west shots into open nets rather than screens or garbage goals. Even on the PP Gulutzan refused to play a winger on his off side for the one timer whereas every single top PP used this strategy. If indeed Peters is hired (hope not) he better get a PP coach that knows what works. hell, I'll do it for free!
