Power-Play Share Leaders (% of Team PP Time)

2023-24Power playThrough 82 team games

For fantasy hockey, power-play deployment is the most bankable usage signal there is. This board shows the share of his team's power-play time each player was on the ice for: a true first-unit forward usually sits between 60% and 75%, and the quarterbacking defenceman on a one-D unit can top 80%.

Team power-play time is rebuilt from shift charts at every man-advantage state (5-on-4, 5-on-3, 4-on-3), so it is exact rather than estimated from the box score.

Leader in 2023-24: Alex Ovechkin (WSH), 78.2% PP TOI%.
