Summary

Welcome to NHL.com, the official site of the National Hockey LeagueBienvenue à LNH.com , le site officiel de la Ligue nationale de hockeyДобро пожаловать на NHL.com, официальный сайт Национальной хоккейной лигиTervetuloa NHL:n viralliselle nettisivustolle NHL.comiinVälkommen till NHL.com, NHL:s officiella web-sidaVítejte na NHL.com, oficiálních stránkách National Hockey LeagueVitajte na NHL.com, oficiálnych stránkach National Hockey LeagueWillkommen auf NHL.com, der offiziellen Seite der National Hockey LeagueBienvenido a NHL.com, el sitio oficial de la National Hockey LeagueThe Tampa Bay Lightning power play is making a lot of noise in the Stanley Cup Playoffs because the band is finally together, and all five pieces are playing in harmony."Our power play has been so good because everyone understands their roles," Lightning captain Steven Stamkos said.The return of forwards Stamkos and Nikita Kucherov at the start of the playoffs allowed everyone on the first power-play unit to settle into their regularly assigned roles for the first time since before the 2019-20 season was paused 15 months ago.Kucherov missed this entire regular season recovering from hip surgery. When the Lightning won the Stanley Cup last season, a lower-body injury limited Stamkos to five shifts, none on the power play, in one playoff game.Together again, Kucherov, Stamkos, forwards Alex Killorn and Brayden Point, and defenseman Victor Hedman have 15 goals and 29 assists on the power play in 11 games. The Lightning are 50.0 percent on the face-off on the power play, third among the four teams remaining (the Islanders are 47.5 percent), but when they get the puck and gain the zone, no team is better at going to work with quick, tic-tac-toe puck movement.It typically starts with Hedman at the point or Kucherov in the right circle. Hedman has nine assists on the power play in the playoffs, tied for first with Kucherov."When you're at the top of the power play and the puck is in your hands a lot there's a lot of responsibility that comes with that, and 'Heddy' has been able to make those reads," Stamkos said.
