What PP Points measures

This board ranks NHL skaters by total points, power play, this season. Players under the minimum sample are hidden, and every row shows the games or minutes behind the number. Total points, power play, this season.

Special-teams scoring follows special-teams ice time: a player's share of his team's PP minutes repeats much better than his PP points do.

The power-play split shows who scores with the man advantage. Points are goals plus assists, the classic scoring race. Top-line centres and power-play quarterbacks lead it most years. In 2017-18, 474 skaters qualify for this board; the median is 7 and Phil Kessel leads at 42.
