In 26 games (Oct 27):
Powerplay: 26.2% (Ranks #6)
Penalty Kill: 84.4% (Ranks #7)
Big reason why this team has been the 2nd best team in the league since that time. Big credit has to go to the coaching staff for the work they've done since the 1st month.

True.
One big change I would make is to PP #2. I would absolutely have Andersson be one the point. He has helped create a lot of offense from the point in end-of-game situations. He has a great shot. I would also put Neal in a one-timer's position, rather than Ryan patrolling the right side being quarterback. I would even consider swapping Chucky over to PP #2 to be the net front guy - tipping one timers and cleaning up rebounds. On #1, keep the same, but put Bennett
#1
Gaudreau-Lindholm-Monahan-
Bennett
Gio
#2
Tkachuk-Backlund-Neal
Andersson-Brodie
