Scoring is down this season in the NHL. Sidney Crosby leads the league in scoring with just 80 points, while Alex Ovechkin and John Tavares both trail by a single tally at 79.
Why? According to the Islanders’ captain, it’s because referees are calling less penalties.
“I’ve said this before, and I don’t try to be critical of it, but there is less being called,†Tavares told The NY Post. “It’s just part of the game. If there’s less being let go, then there’s less opportunity to create time and space. There is a little more let go and fewer power plays.â€
