The San Jose Sharks have possessed one of the most potent power plays in the NHL for many seasons, ever since Joe Thornton first donned a teal uniform. Of late, the Sharks man advantage play has been rendered power less as San Jose has struggled to capitalize on their opportunities.
One of the few, and I mean very few, bright spots for the Sharks last season was their power play. San Jose finished the year with the league’s sixth-ranked power play at 21.6 percent, led by Joe Pavelski who finished second in the entire NHL with 19 power play goals.
