I'm not sure what you're watching in regards to the PK. They're clearing the puck out of the zone far better than in the pass, they're preventing far more quality shots than in the past, and they're pressuring the puck carrier really well. While Johnson is doing well, the players are holding up their end of the PK quite competently...
