Marcus Johansson on what Devils need to do to fix 2nd power-play unit

The Devils' second power-play unit has been one of the team's glaring weak spots during an otherwise strong start to the season.

Overall, the Devils' power play has produced decent numbers, scoring four goals on 20 chances, ranking the team right in the middle of the pack at 16th in the NHL. However, all four power-play goals came from Kyle Palmieri and the top unit.

Even when the top unit hasn't scored, they've created chances and controlled possession.

The second unit hasn't done that. The group, primarily composed of forwards Marcus Johansson, Miles Wood and Stefan Noesen, plus defensemen Sami Vatanen and Damon Severson, hasn't been able to sustain the same type of pressure.
