We are 25 games into the Vancouver Canucks 50th season and the biggest highlight this far has been the dominant powerplay. The incredibly dangerous threat has the Canucks sitting pretty, currently 4th place league-wide, sporting an impressive 26.7 percent conversion rate. On top of that, the Canucks lead the league in goals scored on the man-advantage. They went into Monday night’s contest with 27 powerplay goals. Who could have possibly seen that coming?
For a first unit powerplay to be successful, all the right pieces need to fit into place and mesh well with one another.
