Power Play Gets Special Attention

An ineffective power play, which converted only 11.7% of its chances with the man-advantage, was one of several reasons why the Ducks missed the playoffs last season.

Coach Craig Hartsburg would like to see the Ducks clicking at close to a 20% success rate this season.

“I don’t think our power play is sharp yet, but we’ve had success when we get good puck movement,” Hartsburg said. “When it’s in motion, it’s tough to defend. When we’re standing around, it doesn’t work. We have smart, skilled players. If they do it with tempo, they’ll score more.”
