Erik Karlsson's power-play games — 6 this season

Every team game is listed: no PP means the club never had a power play that night (his zeros are real), DNP means he didn't dress, and no data marks a night whose charts failed quality checks. None of those break the streak, and the totals row averages only the games with a measured power play. A dash under unit means he took PP time without being part of either five. All dates are the league's official game dates (Eastern time) — a late game can show a day earlier than your local clock.
