Through the first month and change of the 2023-24 season, the Washington Capitals have had the least efficient power-play in the League, converting on just 7.3 percent of opportunities and totaling all of three measly goals, fewer than 18 individual NHLers have on their own. They haven’t scored a power play goal in November, and are 0-fer their last 21 opportunities overall, including a five-minute failure in Tuesday night’s win over Vegas.
All of this, despite having the sport’s all-time leader in power-play goals and feeding him more minutes with the extra man than anyone else on the circuit, and a blueliner with the second-most power-play points in the League since 2012.
