Sharks' Joel Ward: Power-play production way down

Ward has managed just three points on the power-play so far after a 12-point effort with the man advantage last year.

Analysis:

The lack of production isn't terribly surprising considering his power-play time has been more than chopped in half (1:07 vs. 2:32 last year). Even worse, Ward has found twine just seven times after scoring 21 goals in 2015-16, and his 23 points are well off the pace of the impressive 43 he put up in his first season in NorCal.
