Unit two is your more typical power play.
If anything, they should maybe just give Unit 2 some more power play time relative to Unit 1. They can keep things simple and that's usually how power plays get back on track.

Well then put Brodie and Stone on the second unit and that solves that problem.
IMO pp units should be
Gio - Hamilton
Ferland - Monahan - Gaudreau
Keeps the first line together and doesn't mess up the lines after a pp.
Second unit should be
Stone - Brodie
Versteeg - Backlund - Tkachuk
I don't like Frolik on the pp and think if you're going to have a guy like Versteeg who is pretty useless 5 on 5 then might as well take advantage of his skills on the pp.
