After slow start, Caps' power play reclaims a spot among NHL's elite units

After an uncharacteristically sluggish start to the season, the Capitals power play has slowly but surely reclaimed its rightful spot among the NHLs elite units. In fact, entering Saturdays game against the Ducks, Alex Ovechkin and Co. had climbed into a tie for 6th with a 21.9-percent success rate. The Caps surge can be traced back to a power play goal scored by Ovechkin in Montreal on Jan. 9.
