Encouraging showing so far on the penalty kill: “Though it’s still very early in the season, and the samples are small, the Devils’ penalty kill rates look similar to what they did in 2021-22. They’re giving up an average of 78.26 shot attempts and 6.97 expected goals per 60, ranked fifth and 13th in the NHL.” [Infernal Access ($)]
