Tampa Bay Lightning revamp power play with dangerous second unit

The Tampa Bay Lightning had a huge resurgence with it’s power play in 2016-17. Most of that was led by Nikita Kucherov, Jonathan Drouin, and Victor Hedman. Throughout the season, 13 different Lightning players scored a power play goal and 14 players recorded a power play point. However, late in the season, the power play was the first unit and only the first unit. From February 1st until the end of the season, only eight different players scored a power play point. Two of them missed the end of the season; Valtteri Filppula after being traded and Tyler Johnson to a lower body injury.
