NHL Power-Play Points Leaders: Washington Capitals
2020-21All situationsThrough 57 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 2020-21: Nicklas Backstrom (WSH), 21 PPP.
