Yesterday: +1.00

The Devils win 5-2 last night. Both blue number differential plays last night won and are now 67-32 +31.78 units. Columbus, Florida, Vancouver and Los Angeles qualify tonight but I'm passing on Columbus and LA because I have conflicting data. My teams have now scored 3.04 goals per game which would rank 6th in the NHL and my goal differential (average margin of victory) has been 0.63 which would rank 8th.
