How Blackhawks' power play can factor into series against Oilers

During the regular season, the Blackhawks' power play was a major cause of concern. There's still so much offensive talent on the Hawks yet they were scoring so few goals on the man advantage.

At the time of the NHL pause on March 12 — due to the COVID-19 pandemic — Chicago's power play was at No. 28 in the league out of 31 teams. The Oilers touted the league's best power play, converting on 29.5% of their man advantages.

The Hawks were converting on a putrid 15.2% of their power plays during the regular season.

To be fair, there was some hope right before the pause.
