Through a small sample size of 10 games this season, there appears to be a direct correlation between the Rangers’ success on the power play and their ability to win.

In each of their five victories, the Blueshirts have scored at least one power-play goal. And in all but one of their five losses, they weren’t able to capitalize with the man-advantage no matter how many opportunities they received. The lone power-play goal the Rangers have recorded in a defeat came from Artemi Panarin, unassisted, in a 5-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.

“It wins games,” head coach Gerard Gallant said of the first power-play unit after the Rangers’ third-period man-advantage goal propelled the club to a 3-2 win over the Coyotes on Sunday night at Mullett Arena.

While the power play may not always directly impact the Rangers’ five-on-five play, there’s no doubt that they can control the pace of a game when things are clicking with the man-advantage. The top unit — featuring Chris Kreider, Mika Zibanejad, Artemi Panarin, Vincent Trocheck and Adam Fox — has shown a consistent ability to take over contests if given enough opportunities.

The numbers speak for themselves. In 17 power-play chances through games that resulted in a loss, the Rangers have scored just one goal. On the other hand, the Rangers have gone 8-for-21 (38.10 percent) on the power play in games they’ve won.

During their recent four-game losing streak, which they snapped on Saturday in Dallas, the Rangers’ power play became a bit too predictable. Their apparent frustrations with their general lack of scoring and inability to make an impact with the power play made it difficult to find any offensive rhythm.

Once they got back to their creative ways with the puck on the power play against the Stars, the Rangers rediscovered their scoring touch and it not only opened things up with the man-advantage, but at even strength as well.

“Our power play was good,” said Trocheck, who is the new guy on the first unit — replacing Ryan Strome — and has already racked up three power-play points, including two goals. “I think we’ve been good. We were getting a little bit tight, gripping on our sticks a little bit too tight, just from a couple games of not scoring. But we’ve been getting chances.

“[Saturday] we were able to capitalize on a couple, and then five-on-five, we were very good and capitalized on our chances. Just got to tighten up a little bit more defensively.”

Between Zibanejad’s one-timer from the faceoff circle, Kreider’s net-front present, Panarin’s and Fox’s passing wizardry and Trocheck’s ability to find the open spot, there are so many different weapons on the Rangers’ power play that opponent’s penalty-killing units have to worry about.

The Rangers have so many more tools than just their power play, which was ranked 12th in the NHL at 23.7 percent after their most recent set of back-to-back games this past weekend. But it’ll be important for the club not to let one of their most notable strengths become their weakness if it’s not working.
