Who ruled the Vegas Golden Knights power play in 2023-24?

William Karlsson

Another "Original Misfit" that impacted the power play was William Karlsson. The Swedish forward has made a name for himself on special teams, which should come as no surprise. Last season, he added a short-handed goal and short-handed assist to his point totals, showcasing his offensive skill in any situation.

But Karlsson was also proficient on the power play, scoring seven goals and eight assists on the man advantage. Overall, he scored 30 goals and 30 assists in 70 games, making him one of the most important pieces on the Golden Knights. Not bad for a player caught up in some wild trade rumor speculation involving a certain Maple Leafs superstar.

Last season shows what makes William Karlsson a special part of the team. His special teams acumen and penchant for scoring in any situation makes him a threat anytime, It doesn't matter if he's dumping the puck on the penalty kill or playing on the second power play unit. The Golden Knights need a special teams star to fill the void. That's where the Swedish star comes in and flourishes.
