Summary

New head coach Mike Babcock wants to build depth by spreading ice time, but the Oilers’ legendary power play—powered by McDavid and Draisaitl—is too good to mess with. Data shows these stars remain elite even late in their shifts, and other top teams prove star power play time still works. The smarter move? Cut minutes on penalty kill or even strength, not the PP unit that’s been unstoppable. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
