After the slate of games on Tuesday, when the Isles went scoreless on the power play while giving up a goal on the penalty kill in a 4-0 loss to the Hurricanes, the Isles ranked 32nd in the league for both specialty units with an abysmal 12.09 power-play percentage and 64.29 penalty-kill percentage.
Not only are they the worst in the league in 2024-25, but by at least one metric, they’re on pace to be the worst in recorded history.
