In fact, it has clicked for three goals in the last four games.
According to captain Shea Weber, there are a lot of positives to build on.
"To be honest, I think that our power play has been better the last five or six games. We're getting results, and if that wasn't the case, we're still building momentum," explained Weber, who finished the night with an assist while logging 25:32 of ice time. "It will be a tough statistic to improve given the way we started."
A notable return
For his part, forward Andrew Shaw was playing his first game since December 31 in Dallas. He wasted little time making his presence felt by scoring the first goal of the game during his first shift after missing 15 straight contests.
His teammates were quick to praise his effort.
"He was incredible. He was probably our best player. He was always on the puck," said Max Domi, who assisted on a pair of goals in the overtime defeat. "It's good to see him back on the ice. He's an important part of the team."
