Winnipeg Jets struggling with worst power play in the NHL but coach has faith

WINNIPEG – Winnipeg Jets coach Claude Noel says he has faith the worst power play in the league will improve.

In 71 tries, the Jets (9-9-2) have managed to score only six goals this season.

Noel agrees it would be hard for the team to have the kind of success it wants if it can’t turn that number around.

But he says he believes in his players.

Defenceman Dustin Byfuglien (BUFF’ linn) says they have to keep working at it and success will come.

Meanwhile, the Jets have been deadly in shootouts, led by captain Andrew Ladd. He’s part of a three-way tie for the league lead with three game-winning shootout goals.
