The Avalanche has scored the second-most power-play goals in the NHL since Cale Makar joined Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen to form arguably the sport’s best three-headed monster. Colorado is missing 40% of its first-choice power-play unit, and even top backup options are missing. And yet, the Avs are still eighth in the NHL this season in goals per game despite missing more than $20 million worth of forwards largely because the power play remains terrifying. While Colorado’s proficiency is only third at 39.3%, the Avs have scored 11 power-play goals in eight games.
