The Winnipeg Jets have been facing their fair share of adversity this season — from injuries to Nikolaj Ehlers and Dustin Byfuglien to Patrik Laine scoring on just four per cent of his shots on goal in an unprecedented cold streak.
The latest issue the team is struggling with is the disappearance of its most powerful weapon — scoring on the power play.
Last season, the Jets’ power play was ranked fifth in the NHL, scoring on 23.4 per cent of their opportunities. It was built around the playmaking prowess of Blake Wheeler, who tied with the Flyers' Claude Giroux for the most scoring chances created per minute on the man advantage.
