Welcome back to Week Fourteen of the Detroit Power Play Update series. Each week, I’ll take a look back at the previous week’s power play performance. At the bottom, you will find links to the previous editions.
First, here’s a quick update on the team metrics that this series is focusing on:
Goals / 60: 24th. Last week: 22nd
Unblocked Shots / 60: 27th. Last week: 27th
High Danger Chances For / 60: 25th. Last week: 28th
% HDCF of Unblocked Shots: 18th. Last week: 26th
A week in which Detroit scored one power play goal with more chances than they are used to (Detroit had 19:33 of 5v4 time over that period) means it’s not surprising they still find themselves near the bottom of the league in 5v4 stats.
