The Carolina Hurricanes need to address their inefficient power play. At times both last postseason and this preseason, the units on the ice appeared to be thinking too much. They were trying too hard. The result is a loss of fundamentals and lack of confidence.
The Hurricanes managed just 2 power play goals in 25 attempts (0.08%) this preseason. There are a lot of moving pieces and trial and error moments on the power play during preseason, so the successes and failures must be taken with a grain of salt.
Inefficiency throughout the preseason is alarming. In searching for a potential solution, I find it more valuable to assess what is not out there consistently than what is.
