The Carolina Hurricanes have historically had trouble on the powerplay. Last season they finished 24th in the league with a 16.8% success rate.
Coincidentally (or not), both picks from last night are prolific scorers with the man advantage.
While Jake Bean might not be a sexy first selection for Carolina, especially since the Canes are already pretty much loaded on the blueline, his specialty is moving the puck and scoring on the powerplay.
Julien Gauthier also specializes in crashing the net and making life miserable for goalies while on the powerplay.
