Six of those power play goals came in the first 8 games of the season. In the next 27 games, he only had two PP goals.
After his hot start, he only had 8 power play goals over the final 74 games. Sheesh.
And what is probably the most telling is that in the final 12 games of the season, when the Blues desperately needed wins to get into the playoffs, Tkachuk only had one power play goal...even though he had 7 pts. in the final four games of the season...he wasn't a PP specialist by any means.
Also, no PP points in the playoffs.
Why are people saying he will help on the power play? I don't see anything special there at all.
If he puts up similar overall numbers to last season (25 goals, 24 assists), that will be nice...but I don't know if he will. We'll see.
