NHL Power-Play Points Leaders: Defensemen

2021-22All situationsThrough 82 team games

This board ranks defensemen only by power-play points.

Power-play points are goals and assists scored with the man advantage. They belong almost entirely to first-unit (PP1) players, so the board doubles as a map of who runs each power play. In leagues that split positions, use it to fill your defense slots, and check the per-60 board for defensemen getting more out of fewer minutes.

Leader in 2021-22: Victor Hedman (TBL), 38 PPP.
