"With Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom on the shelf injured, Carlson is the franchise's active leader in power-play points with 256 (47g, 209a). His 47 career power-play goals also rank first among active players in franchise history."
"The man advantage unit, run by assistant coaches Kirk Muller and Mitch Love, saw their first action of the season without Ovechkin against the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday night. Ovechkin plays a role on both of the team's units, so changes were aplenty."
"While the first unit has retained its familiar 1-3-1 setup, the second unit operated differently. During Washington's first power play opportunity against the Avalanche on Thursday night, Hendrix Lapierre lined up on the left half wall; Jakub Vrana positioned himself near the right half wall; and Andrew Mangiapane and Pierre-Luc Dubois split either side of Colorado's net."
