At times last season, the Blues power play struggled to find consistency. While they were 10th in the league at 21.1 percent, there were too often stretches of time where the unit failed to click. And it was even worse in the playoffs, finding success just 16.3 percent of the time, which was 12th out of 16 playoff teams. Winning the Stanley Cup can make you forget about that, however.
The Blues made a change to their coaching staff in the offseason, bringing in Marc Savard as an assistant coach. His most important assignment was coaching the team’s power play.
