The Toronto Maple Leafs had the NHL’s 6th best Power Play in the 2019-2020 season (in terms of conversion percentage) under now-departed Assistant Coach Paul McFarland. After offseason moves, the team will be able to field two formidable PP units, and will have more options for deployment.
The major changes made by McFarland to the setup of the Power Play last season were moving John Tavares up to the “bumper” spot in the high slot, and moving William Nylander up to the first unit as the net-front presence.
