Reply To: Positive Play Percentage

Eric,

Are your talking about Positive Power Play Percentage? (If this isn't what you mean, please clarify…)

If so, I think you might mean: take your PP %, add your PK % to get an overall combined %.

You want them to be at 100% or higher (105 – 110 %)

I did my thesis on the power play, starting in 1995. Back then, some teams had 108% in the regular season; this positively correlated with their overall standing in the league. Not sure what the top teams are scoring now… you would have to do a bit of research… check out NHL.com to see if they have some archival special teams % and then check the overall standings for that year.

Let me know what you find out!
