Each unit is an exact set of five skaters with 2:23 or more of power play together (10:00 over a full season, pro-rated to games played); a stint with anyone else on the ice is another unit's. Together they cover 71.2% of EDM's power-play time. The PP1 card counts a game's first unit on the ice with four of its five, so its share reads higher than any unit's here.
