When Jared Spurgeon is logging the highest power-play minutes on a Minnesota Wild team that also includes Matt Dumba and Ryan Suter as blue-line options, you can tell something is up. Undervalued as he is, Spurgeon isn’t quite the point-scorer the other two are.
Likewise, spending more than 5 minutes on the power-play should result in more than a measly 7 shots on net, only 5 of which could really be viewed as high danger shot attempts.
Possession-wise, the team holds it very well during a power-play, as evidenced against the Avalanche, but it’s all well and good to move the puck around between yourselves; at some point, you need to take shots and see if you can squeak one in!
