The Columbus Blue Jackets have an elite level of offensive fire power, however to this point in the season they have had the worst power play in the league; and it isn’t even close. The 8.8% success rate is 4 percentage points lower than the next worst team, the Buffalo Sabres.
While it is difficult to solve a power play issue with one quick change, the Columbus Blue Jackets abundance of offensive defensemen could have a good effect in this scenario. If they were to unite Seth Jones and Zach Werenski on the top power play unit, it is possible that success could follow; as it has in even strength play the entire season.
