There isn't only one correct answer. Yes, more out of the bottom of the roster would help and should be an expectation, but it's not like you can expect them to be a factor every game or two. Suppose they scored 12 goals to date - that's basically one every 4 games.

The PP should be a factor in at least half the games but it isn't - that's a bigger issue. If they get 3 PPs per game and hit at 25% (admittedly a high number) they would score 3 goals in 4 games. Clearly PP is a bigger lever than 4th line.
