Their success rate of 31.5 percent is on track for the second-best power play in recorded history behind only the 1977-78 Montreal Canadiens team that converted at 31.9%.
It is particularly amazing considering nobody on the team is leading the league in power-play goals, assists, or points. Auston Matthews is right up there, to be sure (tied for third in power-play goals, tied for fifth in points). But the strength of the Leafs‘ power play is its versatility and how they move around their chess pieces from shift to shift, power play to power play, and game to game.
