Power players

10 Comments

The Kings finished the regular season with the seventh-best power-play percentage (20.8) in the NHL and the fifth-most power-play goals (64). So far in the postseason — and yes, it’s very early — the Kings are tied for most power-play goals (four) and best power-play percentage (44.4). Terry Murray talked this morning about his team’s power-play success thus far…

MURRAY: “It has been good all year long. That’s an area that has got to be good in the playoffs. Jamie Kompon does a good job of preparing the team. He spends a lot of time with the presentations and the detail part of it. When you go against teams that are very aggressive, taking away space, taking away time, and don’t want to let good players have the opportunity to make good plays, there have to be tremendous reads made by players off the puck. I think that’s something that the guys are working very hard for each other, to make those little plays that are creating scoring chances.”
