By the numbers: 2021 season

Hurricanes top power-play performers
Sebastian Aho (7 goals, 11 assists, 18 points)
Vincent Trochek (7 goals. 11 assists, 18 points)
Dougie Hamilton (16 assists, 2 goals, 18 points)
Andrei Svechnikov (4 goals, 13 assists, 17 points)
Jordan Staal (7 goals, 7 assists, 14 points)
42 power play goals against on 166 penalty kills.
On paper, this is one of the most mismatched categories in the upcoming first-round playoff series. The Hurricanes had the top-ranked power play in the NHL until a couple of weeks ago when they fell to second behind Edmonton, and there are only two teams worse than Nashville in the league on the penalty kill.
