Former player Andrew Brunette has been put in charge of Minnesota's power play for the coming season. Brunette also wears the hat of adviser to the hockey operations department, but given his success with the man advantage as a player he's the perfect person to direct the team's power play. The Wild were near the middle of the league in terms of power play efficiency last season, but did not record any goals with the man advantage in their opening round playoff loss to the Blackhawks, something that didn't sit well with head coach Mike Yeo over the summer.
