The Chicago Blackhawks have one power play goal in their last 12 games. They had 33 opportunities on the man advantage during that time and were only been able to capitalize one time. Their power play currently ranks 20th overall with a 19.1 percent conversion rate.

When their power play was ranked 10th in the NHL, their expected goals rate ranked 32nd at 82.51 percent. In those same 31 games, they were shooting at 20 percent — fourth in the league. That’s since dropped to 15.98 percent, which ranks 11th. The Hawks currently rank 19th overall in the rate of goals scored on the man advantage at 7.1 per 60 minutes. Before t
