What the numbers say
Season to date, measured against the rest of the division.
Attack
Wasteful, not toothless
Scoring about 18% below what their shot volume supports. Finishing that far below the run rate usually corrects.

goals per expected
Attack
Shooting from everywhere, hitting nothing
Only 20 of 75 attempts on target 27%. Volume is not the issue.

Defence
Leaking goals
