Yesterday we covered more players to target if your league counts penalty minutes. For today, let’s head in the opposite direction, which is players who do not accrue high penalty minute totals and thus might be worth moving down the rankings slightly in bangers leagues. Lowest penalty minute per point totals, 2019-20 season: Name GP [...]
