Golden Knights make some well-disciplined NHL history

Even in a year where penalties were down across the league, that is an insanely low number.

Just for comparison, the New York Islanders were the second least penalized team in the NHL went into Thursday's slate of games with 208 penalties against them in 81 games.

No other team was penalized less than 228 teams, while the Detroit Red Wings joined the Islanders and Golden Knights as the only teams to have less than 240 penalties. 

The Florida Panthers were the NHL's most penalized team with 340 penalties for the season. 

Where it really gets interesting is that Vegas was not really getting a huge advantage in terms of power play differential. While staying out of the penalty box is a huge advantage on its own, it becomes an even bigger advantage if you can draw more penalties. 

But the Golden Knights were also at the bottom of the NHL in penalties drawn, with their opponents only being penalized 219 times. 

Their games simply did not devolve into special teams games. While Vegas had the second best power play in the NHL, it also had the 26th ranked penalty kill unit. So there is definitely some incentive for them to keep staying out of the penalty box in the playoffs.
