The 1-3-1 power play formation has become the go to power play system for most high level teams. Just about every NHL team is using it so there must be a reason. Power play systems like the overload, umbrella, set pick plays, etc can be effective until the other team knows how to play against them. The 1-3-1 formation allows teams a myriad of options and allows teams to get into other formations very quickly, adding an element of surprise and confusion to the penalty killers.
