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.
