Montreal Canadiens: Projecting possible power play units
The Montreal Canadiens will have several options as far as how they will run their power play units for the 2018-19 season.
This past season was the first time the Montreal Canadiens had their power play fire above 20%. It was also the second year in a row that it was above league average.
Overall, the man advantage was ranked 12th in the NHL at 21.31% scoring 52 goals on 244 opportunities. Alex Galchenyuk led the way in goals with 9 followed by Brendan Gallagher at 6. There were several points of the season where the man advantage looked mediocre and non-threatening, especially at the beginning of the year where the unit would pass the puck quickly and frequently without getting many shots.
