Offensive Numbers

Dubi at the Blueshirt Bulletin gives us a breakdown of the Rangers putrid offensive and goaltender numbers so far...

"Overall, the Rangers have nearly doubled their opponents' in shots on goal (114-59) but have scored only five goals -- their goalies have an anemic save percentage of .879 (.830 aside from Lundqvist's perfect 12 saves) while opposing goalies have an enviable .956 save percentage."

...while these numbers are scary to look at, I'm not very concerned. Obviously the goaltending stats will be much better with Lundqvist starting 85% of the games. And I think the offensive numbers will be much better once the entire team is assembled and able to work together.
