Minnesota’s eight power play goals ranks second in the the league as well, trailing only Colorado (nine).
Mats Zuccarello leads the team with three power-play goals, and Kirill Kaprizov and Joel Eriksson Ek both have two.
Boldy has a power-play goal in Saturday’s overtime loss in Boston and had another one against the Bruins wiped away as it was ruled that the puck was directed into the net with a kicking motion.
