While the P-Bruins enter the playoffs as the cream of the crop from the regular season, the Monarchs aren’t expected to be a first-round pushover. They have excelled in the special-teams facet of the game, which is very important in the playoffs, often making the difference between advancing and heading home to tee times.
“Manchester has the best power play in the league, so it’s important for us to stay disciplined and not spend time in the penalty box,” said Gordon.
The Monarchs’ top four scorers have done major damage on the power play, as well as in other situations. Leading scorer Teddy Purcell finished with 25 goals and 58 assists for a team-high 83 points. A little more than half of his goals (13) came on the power play.
