An offseason fantasy hockey analysis of the Edmonton Oilers and the Arizona Coyotes
Edmonton
Edmonton improved this year even if it is not represented in their position in the standings. This is a team that took steps in the right direction in averaging more shots per game while allowing fewer shots per game. This is a big step as they brought their shot differential down from -6 to -1.6. Despite the improvement they allowed more goals, going from 3.26 goals against per game (GA/G) in 2013/14 to 3.37 GA/G this season, and scored less, going from 2.43 goals for per game (GF/G) to 2.34 GF/G this season. Edmonton's shot differential for the season was two shots overall better than Montreal, yet Montreal had 48 more points on the season. That is the difference between Montreal having a PDO of 101.7 (92.5% SV%/9.2 SH%) and Edmonton having a PDO of 97.1 (88.8% SV%/8.3% SH%). With league average goaltending Edmonton drops their goals against per game by 0.75 goals, or 60 goals on the season. This would make most Oilers a much more palatable play for leagues counting plus/minus.
