Why PPG matters

Approximately 25-30% of all NHL goals come on the power play. Players on PP1 units have significantly higher goal-scoring rates when their team has the man advantage.

PPG factors

- PP1 role: First unit players get 70%+ of PP time - Opponent PK: Weak penalty kills allow more PP goals - Opponent penalties: Undisciplined teams create more PP opportunities - Shooting position: One-timer spots and bumper positions score most PPG

PP1 archetypes

- One-timer threats: Positioned in the circle for one-timers (Ovechkin spot) - Bumper players: Slot presence for tips and rebounds - Quarterbacks: Usually D-men, but can score from the point

💡

Pro Tip: Cross-reference with line combinations to confirm PP1 status. Players can move between PP1 and PP2—only PP1 triggers are worth targeting.
