Power players

A look at the top power-play players used so far across the league. Team's generally use their first power play line about 70 per cent of the man advantage minutes, so you're going to see these players pick up the majority of those points.

Notable additions and/or changes in bold:

Anaheim
Pronger, Beauchemin
Getzlaf, Bertuzzi, McDonald
Atlanta	The Thrashers have long needed PP QBs and Tobias Enstrom, 22, is going to get a long look here
Zhitnik, Enstrom
Kovalchuk, Hossa, Kozlov
Boston	It's a little puzzling that, given the firepower here, Ference and Schaefer have received this many PP minutes
Chara, Ference
Murray, Schaefer, Bergeron
Buffalo
Campbell, Spacek
Vanek, Connolly, Roy
Calgary
Phaneuf
Iginla, Tanguay, Huselius, Langkow
Carolina	Zoiks, all forwards. Hamilton had the QB role as a specialist in Chicago last year
Stillman, Hamilton, Whitney, Brind'Amour, Cullen
Chicago	34-year-old rookie Magnus Johansson was signed out of Sweden in the summer after solid SEL career
Johansson
Lang, Williams, Bourque, Perreault
Colorado
Liles
Sakic, Hejduk, Stastny, Smyth
Columbus	Another team that needs a PP saviour, Columbus has handed the reins to pint-sized rookie Kris Russell
Russell, Westcott
Nash, Vyborny, Modin
Dallas
Zubov, Boucher
Morrow, Jokinen, Modano
Detroit
Lidstrom, Rafalski
Datsyuk, Holmstrom, Zetterberg
Edmonton
Souray, Pitkanen
Hemsky, Penner, Horcoff
Florida	With Florida struggling to score, Peltonen and Stumpel won't stay ahead of Horton and Weiss much more
Murphy, Bouwmeester
Peltonen, Stumpel, Jokinen
Los Angeles	Blake's 36 and had all of 34 points last year; Johnson, Preissing or Stuart should be here (or Crawford canned)
Visnovsky, Blake
Cammalleri, Kopitar, Frolov
Minnesota	With two goals in three games, Brent Burns has arrived
Nummelin, Burns
Rolston, Demitra, Gaborik
Montreal	Without Souray, Mark Streit is getting huge PP minutes here and performing admirably so far
Streit, Markov
Higgins, Koivu, Ryder
Nashville	I'm afraid I can't explain what Radek Bonk's doing here given Radulov's an option
Zidlicky, Suter
Dumont, Arnott, Bonk
New Jersey	The Devils are struggling, but Greene's been okay so far. I'm surprised Paul Martin's not getting more minutes
Rachunek, Greene
Parise, Zajac, Gionta
N.Y. Islanders	After a really solid rookie year, Campoli struggled last season, but could blossom here. Weird choices up front
Campoli, Bergeron
Sim, Hunter, Comrie
N.Y. Rangers
Rozsival
Gomez, Shanahan, Drury, Jagr
Ottawa
Redden, Corvo
Heatley, Spezza, Alfredsson
Philadelphia	Mike Richards could really surprise this year after a brutal season in 2006-07. He's certainly getting an opportunity
Timonen
Gagne, Briere, Knuble, Richards
Phoenix	Gretzky's baby brigade! I don't ever recall a team, aside from Pittsburgh, with a 19- and 20-year-old on the PP
Jovanovski
Doan, Vrbata, Mueller, Hanzal
Pittsburgh
Gonchar, Whitney
Crosby, Recchi, Malkin
St. Louis	Talk about a plum role for Erik Johnson, although a foot fracture's going to slow him down a bit now
Backman, Johnson
Tkachuk, Kariya, Stempniak
San Jose
Carle/Vlasic/Rivet
Marleau, Thornton, Cheechoo
Tampa Bay
Kuba
Richards, St. Louis, Lecavalier, Ouellet
Toronto
Kaberle, McCabe
Sundin, Tucker, Blake
Vancouver	The Canucks' answer to offence: Ryan Shannon! Yeah, they lost 8-2 to Philadelphia last night
Bieksa, Ohlund
Shannon, Sedin, Sedin
Washington	A big-time scorer in junior, Mike Green's getting a shot here. Only one point so far, but I expect more
Poti, Green
Ovechkin, Nylander, Kozlov
