Early returns on the Winnipeg Jets’ power play are positive in light of last season’s erratic results.
Winnipeg has six power-play goals in six games so far this NHL season, a 26.1 per cent conversion rate. That’s fifth in the NHL so far, an excellent pace and well above the average of 18.3 per cent.
A year ago, the Jets finished 17th on the power play at 17.8 per cent, below the average of 18.7 per cent. The power play then was hot and cold regularly, including a drought of six games to start the season and a seven-game stretch with nothing in November.
