One of the main reasons why Calgary has the least hits in the league is because they have the puck more than the other team.
Chicago had few hits in their glory years, FWIW.
Teams with the puck get hit more often than teams without it.
It's the same for teams who block lots of shots. It's because the other team is firing the puck at them so much.
