so despite being 26 in the league on the PK and 20 in league on the PP it allows us to have an even Power play differential with 26 GF and 26 GA and be right in the mid pack in terms of special team results.
I think if we can improve either the power play or the penalty kill to mid pack and maintain the rates we draw and take penalites in can be a reason why this team is successful. |
Plus the PK is improving - no goals last night. Stajan and Backlund have improved it. I do think it's where the defensive weakness of the 2nd pairing shows up more.
