The first power play unit may feature mostly familiar faces, but the fresh setup and mentality worked on in the off-season looked pretty shrewd when Parise blasted a one-timer past Varlamov to seal his hat-trick and an unlikely Wild victory. Now I'm not here to declare the power play is fixed by any stretch of the imagination, I still think having Granlund and his muffin-blaster of a shot in the trigger position on the half-wall is ill-advised, Suter as the primary shooter from the point is odd when there are likely three better options on the bench nehind him, and Pominville as a net-front presence is an obvious poor fit.
