The New York Islanders have consistently had issues on the man-advantage since Barry Trotz took over. In year one (18-19) the Islanders held a 14.5% efficiency while last year (19-20) their efficiency moved up slightly to 17.3% even with Anders Lee holding an abysmal 7.14 shooting percentage.
Through nine games this season, the power play isn’t any better. The Islanders have six PPGs on 38 opportunities in this young but shortened season. That’s a 15.8% efficiency.
The Islanders clearly need to fix their power play.
