Teams without 30-goal scorers:

Arizona (Galchenyuk, Richardson, 17)
Detroit (Athanasiou, 29)
Los Angeles (Kopitar, 21)
Minnesota (Parise, 26)
New Jersey (Palmieri, 27)
New York Islanders (Lee, 27)
New York Rangers (Zibenejad, 28)
Ottawa (Stone, 28)
St. Louis (Tarasenko, 29)
Vancouver (Petterson, Horvat, 27)
Vegas (Marchedsault, 24)

Just as an update, the following teams finished without a 30-goal scorer:

Anaheim (Silfverberg, 24)
Arizona (Galchenyuk, Richardson, 19)
Los Angeles (Brown, Kopitar, 22)
Minnesota (Parise, 28)
New Jersey (Palmieri, 27)
New York Islanders (Lee, 28)
Ottawa (Tkachuk, 22)
Vancouver (Petterson, 28)

Technically, Stone finished with 33 goals on the season for Vegas, although he only scored 5 on the Knights.

Shout out to Brad Richardson for leading an NHL team in goals scored. He actually played less games than Galchenyuk, too.

No one on the Coyotes even scored 20. Zero players on the roster with 60 points. Fun times!

Teams on average scored about 21 mores goal this year (45 30g scorers) versus 14-15 (15 30g scorers).

So that is a very good thing.

We should see it go up again when Seattle enters the league.

I would like to see it continue to go up. I think we just need better reffing. Start calling shit and don't have different rules depending on the score, game, playoffs etc.

I hope next year 50 players do it.

Bring on the higher scoring era!

Is goal scoring too high? Goalies need bigger pads.

San Jose has 4 players with 30 or more goals. They're the only team with that many players. 7 teams have 3 players with 30 or more goals.

Smaller nets?
