NHL Power-Play Points Leaders: Defensemen
2026-27All situationsThrough 3 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 2026-27: Erik Karlsson (PIT), 2 PPP.
- Early sample: teams have played at most 3 games in 2026-27. Expect big swings.
