"The Caps' power play at 5v4 has a higher expected goals rate than last year's club, which finished in the top half of the League, and the second highest rate of the last five seasons."
"Alex Ovechkin isn't getting (or creating) shots like he used to, and he's not converting on the chances he does get. Father time remains undefeated."
"The Caps' power play is horrific... it wasn't necessarily a whole hell of a lot better last year, except where it matters."
"For an aspect of the game that was more or less Spencer Carbery's calling card when he took this job, it's now probably his most important and maybe most difficult challenge to fix."
The Caps' power play has a higher expected goals rate than last year, but low shooting percentages have led to poor results. Alex Ovechkin's declining performance has impacted the power play significantly. While some may attribute the struggles to luck, the reality is more complex. The power play's effectiveness is a major challenge for coach Spencer Carbery, who must address these issues beyond simply waiting for better luck to improve performance.
