Colorado finished second to the bottom in the league in power play percentage last season. Having a man advantage is a chance to generate some scoring chances. If the Avalanche improve their scoring numbers, it will start by capitalizing on power play opportunities. Once they are scoring on the power play, confidence will rise and that confidence will transfer over to even strength time.
