Avoid the Bruins
If you are looking for power play numbers, then perhaps it’s a good idea to avoid Boston Bruin players.
The Bruins do not get a lot of power play opportunities compared to the rest of the NHL and the numbers over the last seven years show that to be true.
In the last seven seasons the Bruins have been no better than 25th in the NHL in power play opportunities.
2007-08 – 27th
2008-09 – 27th
2009-10 – 29th
2010-11 – 26th (tied)
2011-12 – 25th (tied)
2012-13 – 30th
