There have been teams putting out serious offensive output this season in the NHL.
Earlier this year, the Maple and Red Wings went head-to-head in a 10-7 slugfest. Then the Penguins became the first team in the salary cap era to score 11 goals in a single game.
On Tuesday night, the Capitals lit up the Flyers to the tune of 9-2 on national TV. Lars Eller potted two goals as he was one of eight different Capitals to find the back of the net.
