Despite Prince George having the second-best power play in the league through the regular season (27.7%), the Ams have held them scoreless with a man advantage over 8 opportunities in the playoffs. Tri-City also had an excellent regular season power play (27.3%) and is just 1/11 on the power play in Round One. Parker Bell netted the first power play goal of the series last night.

Tri-City will look to build on their series lead. They have an opportunity to win the series on home ice with victories tonight and Friday at the Toyota Center.
