Steadier, not better.<\/p>\n<h2>Special teams<\/h2>\n\n<!-- sq-box --><div class=\"sqh\"><div class=\"wrap\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 640 258\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"special teams comparison\"><text x=\"0\" y=\"29\" font-size=\"12.5\" font-weight=\"700\" fill=\"#22034a\">Avalanche power play<\/text><rect x=\"240\" y=\"17\" width=\"93.1\" height=\"18\" rx=\"4\" fill=\"#6F263D\"><title>Avalanche power play: 23.9%, 11th of 32<\/title><\/rect><text x=\"339.1\" y=\"31\" font-size=\"12\" font-weight=\"800\" fill=\"#22034a\">23.9% <tspan fill=\"#5a5470\" font-size=\"10.5\">11th<\/tspan><\/text><text x=\"0\" y=\"91\" font-size=\"12.5\" font-weight=\"700\" fill=\"#22034a\">Canadiens penalty kill<\/text><rect x=\"240\" y=\"79\" width=\"304.5\" height=\"18\" rx=\"4\" fill=\"#AF1E2D\"><title>Canadiens penalty kill: 78.1%, 16th of 32<\/title><\/rect><text x=\"550.5\" y=\"93\" font-size=\"12\" font-weight=\"800\" fill=\"#22034a\">78.1% <tspan fill=\"#5a5470\" font-size=\"10.5\">16th<\/tspan><\/text><line x1=\"0\" x2=\"640\" y1=\"124\" y2=\"124\" stroke=\"#e2d8f7\"\/><text x=\"0\" y=\"153\" font-size=\"12.5\" font-weight=\"700\" fill=\"#22034a\">Canadiens power play<\/text><rect x=\"240\" y=\"141\" width=\"53.8\" height=\"18\" rx=\"4\" fill=\"#AF1E2D\"><title>Canadiens power play: 13.8%, 30th of 32<\/title><\/rect><text x=\"299.8\" y=\"155\" font-size=\"12\" font-weight=\"800\" fill=\"#22034a\">13.8% <tspan fill=\"#5a5470\" font-size=\"10.5\">30th<\/tspan><\/text><text x=\"0\" y=\"215\" font-size=\"12.5\" font-weight=\"700\" fill=\"#22034a\">Avalanche penalty kill<\/text><rect x=\"240\" y=\"203\" width=\"313.3\" height=\"18\" rx=\"4\" fill=\"#6F263D\"><title>Avalanche penalty kill: 80.3%, 10th of 32<\/title><\/rect><text x=\"559.3\" y=\"217\" font-size=\"12\" font-weight=\"800\" fill=\"#22034a\">80.3% <tspan fill=\"#5a5470\" font-size=\"10.5\">10th<\/tspan><\/text><\/svg><\/div><p class=\"cap\">Each power play set against the kill it will face, with the league rank beside the figure.
