They have two PP lines. The one with 13, 23, 10, 7 and 36 is the playmaking line where they try more passes and precision plays. It's why they go with 4 forwards and 1 D. The other line has 2 D and 3 forwards with 11, 19, 67, 5 and 27. This one has 2 defencemen with alternate shots on each point. Both have power to get it through. It gives the opponent two different looks on the same power play. For much of December and January it was the most effective power play in the NHL. Today they generated many chances but couldn't beat Miller. That happens sometimes.
