PP1 is hot and cold, but produces.
PP2 hasn't done anything all year. I really don't get why Neal isn't being used as the triggerman on the 2nd group, but as the puck distributor behind the goal line. I like Andersson in that group though lately, but we need a concrete strategy that generates shots at least.
A less skilled PP group should park someone competent in front (Bennett), and use an umbrella at the point to switch onetimer options using the frontman for screens / deflections / rebounds. Instead it's all perimeter puck movement along the boards until we lose possession.
