The New York Islanders power-play is a unit that just can’t get itself on track. The struggles are as well-documented as they are frustrating. Going back to March 13, the first game without Anders Lee, the Islanders are 4-for-37 on the man advantage, good for a 10.8% power-play conversion rate in that span.
The power-play quandary is one that I’ve written about several times this season, most recently in my three takeaways from Thursday’s shootout win over Philadelphia.
