With three power-play goals in Game 5 against the Boston Bruins, the New York Islanders sit with a 29% efficiency on the man-advantage in the postseason. That’s the fourth-best efficiency in the playoffs.
That’s surprising considering the Islanders entered the playoffs with one of the worst PP efficiencies for participating teams.
