Over the last 20 games, the Detroit Red Wings have seen a measurable drop in their power play efficiency. Their success rate of 17.7% over the last 20 games puts them 18th in league efficiency, squarely in the bottom half of the NHL. Five of Detroit's division rivals rank above them in power play percentage. To make matters worse, Detroit's -1 goal differential is the worst among playoff teams and third-lowest in the Atlantic.
In order to ignite the team's anemic power play, the Red Wings have to make some major changes on their special teams.
