The Canucks were fourth on the power play at 24.2 percent after finishing 22nd (17.1 percent) in 2018-19. Much of that improvement can be credited to the addition of forward J.T. Miller, who was acquired in a trade with the Tampa Bay Lightning on June 22, 2019, and the impact of rookie defenseman Quinn Hughes. Miller and Hughes tied for the team lead with 25 power-play points, followed by center Elias Pettersson with 24. Forward Bo Horvat led the Canucks with 12 power-play goals. The Canucks also should have a healthy Brock Boeser in the lineup for the start of their qualifier series against the Minnesota Wild. Boeser scored five power-play goals in 57 games; the forward missed 12 of the Canucks' final 13 games before the season was paused because of a rib injury but is healthy now. The Canucks, the No. 7 seed in the West, will play the Wild, the No. 10 seed, in a best-of-5 Cup Qualifier series at Rogers Place beginning Sunday (10:30 p.m. ET; NBCSN, NHL.TV, SN, FS-N, FS-WI). The Wild were 25th on the penalty kill this season at 77.2 percent, and their ability to defend against Vancouver's power play could be affected by which goalie plays. Alex Stalock had an .865 save percentage against opposing power plays, which was 33rd in the NHL among goalies to play at least 20 games, and Devan Dubnyk had an .844 save percentage, which was 45th. Rookie Kaapo Kahkonen, who played five games, had a .706 save percentage against opposing power plays.
