Canadiens' Power Play Plagued by One Brutal Stat

The Canadiens sit at 25-20-12-10 through 67 games, clawing for every point in the Atlantic, but their power play drags like a bad habit from the rebuild days. Kent Hughes watches helplessly as they convert just 46 goals on 1776 shots while coughing up 49 to opponents, a stat that screams inefficiency from the blue line to the netfront. Front offices whisper this could force moves before the deadline if they don't fix it fast, especially with young guns like Caufield and Suzuki carrying the load.
