Kevin Labanc was tied for third on the Sharks with Karlsson with an NHL career-high 20 power-play points (two goals, 18 assists) last season. The forward's emergence on the top unit could help offset the loss of center Joe Pavelski, who was second on San Jose with 21 power-play points (12 goals, nine assists) and first among Sharks forwards in power-play time on ice per game (2:57). San Jose ranked sixth in the NHL in power-play percentage (23.6 percent), and without Pavelski, Labanc could see additional ice time per game on the man-advantage, suggesting he could better his power-play numbers.
