Rangers searching for answers as once-formidable power play keeps failing them

The New York Rangers have always been known for their strong special teams play, particularly their power play unit. However, this season has been a bit different, as the team has struggled to find the same success with the man advantage that they have had in previous years.

Despite making some changes to their power play personnel this season, the Rangers have not been able to replicate the same level of success they have had in the past. Their power play has not been able to make up for their struggles at even strength, which has left them looking rather average overall.

Head coach Peter Laviolette has been emphasizing the importance of the power play in practice, making sure that the team works on it consistently. However, despite their efforts, the Rangers have not been able to capitalize on their power play opportunities as effectively as they have in the past.

In a recent game against Edmonton, the Rangers went 0-for-3 on the power play, missing out on crucial scoring chances that could have made a difference in the outcome of the game. Laviolette pointed out that the inability to convert on the power play was a key factor in the team’s loss.

Moving forward, the Rangers will need to find a way to improve their power play efficiency if they want to remain competitive in the tough Metropolitan Division. With the talent they have on their roster, there is no reason why they can’t turn things around and get back to their winning ways on the man advantage.
