3. SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT

If there’s one thing  know for a fact it’s that if you don’t shoot the puck, you don’t score. In 2014-15, the Habs were 25th in the league with an average of 28.5 shots per game. This season, it’s an entirely different picture, as the Habs are 7th in the league with an average of 32.8 shots per game. Excuse me while I rejoice before I carry on.

P.K. Subban was quoted as saying one thing he noticed about Erik Karlsson is that he shot the puck more often than he does, noting that it often ends up creating chances that may not be there if you don’t shoot the puck. I’m not sure who pointed it out to him, but it’s nice to hear and should yield great results for a team that needed exactly that, more shooting and scoring.
