Blues adjust power play units for Thursday’s game against Sharks

The Blues focused on the power play at Wednesday’s practice, which is nice. Currently they sit at 29th in the league at 15.5% effectiveness. They need help.

Here are the new power play units, according to Jim Thomas, are as follows:

First unit: Pietrangelo, Steen, Taraskeno, Schenn, Schwartz

Second unit: Dunn, Parayko, Berglund, Jaskin, Sobotka

That first unit, fine and dandy. Dunn’s been bumped down to the second unit, which means Tage Thompson is off of the PP.

But wow, Berglund, Jaskin, and Sobotka. I think we’ve figured out why the Blues PP is at 15.5%.

Question for you, dear readers: how do you re-tool the PP units to actually make them effective, or can you even? Kindly share your suggestions. Maybe someone’ll take your suggestions.
