Gardiner and Phaneuf are two of the team’s better shot threats available on the powerplay, yet Phaneuf hasn’t scored on the powerplay since February 26th of last season (70 games), has two powerplay goals in his last 118 games, and Gardiner hasn’t scored on the powerplay since April of the 2013-14 season (albeit while playing a minute less on the PP than Dion). The two are the leading defencemen on the team since 2014-15 in PP TOI/game at 3:18 and 2:18 respectively.

I've always thought Phaneuf lacks creativity on the power-play, and his shot misses the net far too often
