In regards to McLeod and getting shots on goal.
18 shots in his last 8, so that is a clear improvement. During that stretch he has a 4 shot game, a 5 shot game, and last nights 3 shot game. As a comparison he had 19 shots in his previous 20 games, and he had not had a game with 3 or more shots during that span. On the season, previous to this stretch, he only had 2 games with 3 or more shots.
Now the shots over the last 8 have not led to many goals. Last nights was his first goal in 18 games. But he did have 6 assists in his last 8, so:
a)considering the points and the shots on goal this is probably the best stretch on his career thus far, and
b)if he continues to put shots on net the goals will come.
