NHL Power-Play Points Leaders: Washington Capitals
2017-18All situationsThrough 82 team games
This board ranks every NHL skater by total power-play points this season, regular season only.
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. PPP is a category in many leagues, and PP1 time is the best single predictor of it. A player who loses his PP1 spot usually drops off this board within weeks.
Leader for the Washington Capitals in 2017-18: John Carlson (WSH), 32 PPP.
