The Kings are 2nd in the league in shots on goal. They are the only team in the top 7 averaging less than 3 goals per game. Only team averaging less than 3.22 gpg. Only 1 team in the top 15 averages fewer goals per game than the Kings. Only 4 of the top 15 average less than 3 per game, and Vegas is at 2.90.
Not that the Kings have ever been efficient. Even when they were good, it was a volume team, and that's how they sort of cheated to get around their lack of overall skill.
If goalies save 91% or so of shots, you should get around 3 goals with 30 shots, but it takes the Kings 40 shots to get 3 goals, and 40 shots isn't easy to get, even if you throw everything at the net.
At least it was a better period.
