The Blackhawks’ power play was bad during the regular season. That’s no surprise to anyone reading this.
They had the 28th-ranked power play, in part, because they took the 21st-most shot attempts (91.34 per 60) and 22nd-most shot attempts (50.17). They shot into an average of 23.48 blocks per 60.
The Blackhawks’ power play has been bad during the Stanley Cup Qualifiers after Game 1 against the Oilers. That’s also no surprise to anyone reading this either.
They are tied for ninth with a 25-percent success rate (10 percent above where they were in the regular season) but have gone 1-for-10 during the last two games.
