Jake DeBrusk has long been known as a streaky player.

His latest streak, coming long after the Vancouver Canucks‘ games have ceased to matter, is a doozy. He has five goals in his last seven games, with his latest on Saturday against the Utah Mammoth continuing a five-game point streak.

Remarkably, all five goals have come on the power play. Or, in DeBrusk’s case, that isn’t remarkable at all: almost all of his goals this season have come on the power play.

Those five power play goals have brought DeBrusk to 16 on the season, tied for third in the NHL with Leon Draisaitl and Kirill Kaprizov. It’s surprising that any Canuck is top three in any statistical category in the NHL this season, except perhaps for Elias Pettersson leading all NHL forwards in blocked shots — good for Pettersson, but also a sign of how under siege the Canucks have been all season.

The only difference between DeBrusk and the two superstars he’s tied with is that Draisaitl and Kaprizov have a total of 35 and 40 goals, respectively, and DeBrusk has 19.

With 16 of his 19 goals coming on the power play, that puts DeBrusk in some unique company.

I took all of the players in NHL history who scored at least 14 power play goals, and looked at those who scored at least three-quarters (75%) of their goals on the power play. I’ll be honest: it was going to be 15 power play goals, but then I saw former Canuck Rick Lanz would make the list if I included 14 power play goals, and decided to expand my criteria so he could be on the chart with fellow former Canuck Adrian Aucoin.

The result: just 12 players in NHL history who had three-quarters of their goals on the power play while scoring at least 14 power play goals.

Aside from providing some prime “Let’s remember some guys” material, this list gives us some context for DeBrusk’s season. By scoring 84.2% of his goals on the power play, he ranks second behind the great Yvan Cournoyer for the highest ratio of power play goals to total goals in NHL history.

DeBrusk won’t be catching Cournoyer for the highest ratio, barring a miracle. He would have to score eight more power play goals in the Canucks’ remaining six games, without a single goal in any other situation, to tie Cournoyer, and nine power play goals to pass him.

DeBrusk has been as close to a pure power play specialist as the NHL has seen in some time, scoring almost exclusively on the power play. The vast majority of those goals have come as the net front presence, and he’s tied for second in the NHL for tipped goals, behind only Dmitri Voronkov.

But Cournoyer was a true power play specialist in his earliest seasons with the Montreal Canadiens. He barely saw the ice except for when Montreal was on the man advantage, as Toe Blake didn’t trust the defensive side of his game and didn’t want to put undue pressure on the young forward.

Eventually, Cournoyer got ice time in more situations and became known as a strong two-way forward, eventually succeeding Henri Richard as captain of the Canadiens for four seasons. Cournoyer is second in Canadiens history in power play goals, behind only the great Jean Beliveau.

DeBrusk is just ahead of Camille “The Eel” Henry, who had a similar story to Cournoyer. Both were small of stature at 5’7″, with Henry the smallest player in the NHL in his day. And he primarily served as a power play specialist early in his career, tallying 20 of his 24 goals on the power play in his rookie year, and continued to have success on the power play throughout his career, with many of his goals coming on tips and deflections.

Also, like Cournoyer, Henry went on to serve as captain of his team, albeit only for part of the 1964-65 season before he was traded. Henry was the all-time leader in power play goals in Rangers history until Mika Zibanejad surpassed him earlier this season.

DeBrusk, of course, isn’t like Cournoyer and Henry. He isn’t at the beginning of his hockey career, he’s unlikely to set any franchise records, and the odds are against him being named captain of the Canucks.

It’s also not entirely his fault that his goals have come almost exclusively on the power play.

DeBrusk’s career shooting percentage at 5-on-5 is 10.2%. This season, his 5-on-5 shooting percentage is 2.8%.

DeBrusk has taken 109 shots at 5-on-5 this season. According to Natural Stat Trick, 63 of his shot attempts have been high-danger chances, and he has an individual expected goals of 12.5. Just three of his 5-on-5 shots have gone in the net.

As much as things have gone well for DeBrusk on the power play, he has been startlingly unlucky at 5-on-5.

It’s not like this has been a pattern for him in his career. Last season, DeBrusk had 100 shots at 5-on-5; he scored 11 goals. His career high in 5-on-5 goals is 19. He’s actually been a solid 5-on-5 goalscorer in his career.

But this season, he’s been a pure power play specialist.
