Last season, the Blues finished with a 24.3% power play effectiveness, good for third in the NHL. If you factor in this year’s power play, it drops to sixth in the league with a 22.7% effectiveness rate.
That isn’t bad, you might say. Three spots? Come on.
That’s a drop of three spots after four games played. This season so far, the Blues are humming along with a perfect zero percent effectiveness on the PP. The only other team who hasn’t scored with an extra man, but who have actually played, are the Anaheim Ducks.
