Powerplay Gunners

[RandomChickenWing]

Who are the top shooters on their team's PP and how would you rank them in comparison to other? Basically someone that will typically be the triggerman and the primary focus on getting the goals? ie. Ovechkin is clearly the triggerman in WSH.

[Filthy Dangles]

Zibanejad is the guy on NYR PP

 

[izzy]

tarasenko in st louis

also steen unfortunately is told to constantly take slap shots from the point

 

[VoluntaryDom]

No one in Tampa, Stamkos and Kucherov prefer passing it back and forth for the entire two minutes

 

[StoneHands]

Giroux and Ghost are basically the only guys allowed to shoot on the Flyers PP. Giroux from Ovechkins spot but a little farther back closer to the boards and Ghost a the top of the umbrella.

 

[Little Bobby Boo]

Hoffman and Ekblad

 

[GoJetsGo55]

Laine in Winnipeg. Similar to Ovi.

 

[BHD]

For the Pens' top unit, Malkin and Letang/Schultz.

 

[Breakers]

Boeser

Maybe around 12-14 in the league

 

[Sypher04]

Matthews, Tavares, Kadri. In that order.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Palmieri
Ovi
Ghost
Kuch
Seguin
Marchessault
Eichel
Josi
Laine
Boeser

It’s fair to say Oshie is a trigger man on the Caps too. The whole point of their set up is that there are two players in very dangerous areas.
Ovechkin in the Ovi spot, and you have Oshie in the slot right in front of the net.

Both of them just wait there for a pass and the only way to stop one is to leave the other open.
That same spot made Brouwer a 30 goal scorer.

 

[Choralone]

It's now Kovalchuk.

3rd option is Carlson at the top of the point. The PP really came alive though when Kuzy started sniping from the half wall.

 

[Section337]

When did they start allowing triggermen on the PP? Asking for the Oilers, who are not aware of this possibility.

 

[Lame Lambert]

Pulock

 

[PhoenyX]

Ducks really haven't had a top-notch gunner on the PP since Selanne retired.

 

[jetsforever]

Jets' main guy is Laine in the Ovechkin spot
2nd is Scheifele in the slot
3rd is Byfuglien with slappers from the point

Wheeler feeds all these guys

 

[Kcb12345]

Seguin for the Stars

 

[AvsFan29]

MacKinnon does well

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Hopefully DeBrincat.

 

[boredmale]

Pulock

I would include him BUT for whatever reason the Islanders seem fit to hide that shot on the second unit

 

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

No one in Tampa, Stamkos and Kucherov prefer passing it back and forth for the entire two minutes

I thought Tampa puts Kuch in the "Ovi" spot just on the opposite side. Just remembering from last year where he had a hattrick on the PP

 

[Emerz]

Pastrnak is usually that guy on the Bruins.

 

[Lame Lambert]

It’s unfair to put him on the 1st unit
