Low # of PPs?
I've noticed that a lot of games have 1 or 2 PP chances for either side lately. Is this at or lower than historic norms? Anyone have the stats on this? I've cut back my betting A LOT this season for this specific reason. Also, makes fantasy hockey less interesting as less scoring equals less opportunity.

Looks like you're right:
Teams doing more with fewer power plays
Friday, 03.22.2013 / 10:37 AM / Inside the Numbers
By John Kreiser - NHL.com Columnist
Teams are converting their power-play opportunities better than they have in any season since 2008-09. They're just not getting many chances to do it. Power plays per game dropped to a 34-year low of 6.61 per game last season, and that total will end up even lower in 2012-13 if current trends continue.
Whether it's officials allowing more things to go uncalled or players adapting to the way games are called, power plays are plummeting as the season goes on. The first quarter of the season saw an average of 8.28 power plays per game. By the end of February, that number was down to 7.67 -- and through Thursday's games, the average had dropped to 7.10 per game.
More telling is the fact that power plays this month continue to drop. The 153 games played so far this month have seen an average of just 5.99 power plays -- matching the average of the last three-plus months of 2011-12. If the March average were to continue through the remainder of 2012-13, the full-season average would drop to 6.55; the last time there were fewer power plays per game was 1977-78 (6.38).
Philadelphia and San Jose are the only teams averaging more than four power plays per game; Anaheim, Boston, Winnipeg and Colorado are averaging fewer than three. Philadelphia and Dallas are the only teams allowing opponents more than four advantages per game.
Though they're not getting as much practice, teams are connecting on the power play at the best rate since '08-09. Through 450 games, the success rate is 18.5 percent, a big jump from last season's figure of 17.3 percent. Since 1993-94, the only full-season success rate better than this season's percentage is the 18.9 percent teams posted in '08-09.
