It's a really good sign that they've found their game defensively and are playing better five on five away from the puck. The issue is the offensive side.
Monahan for example has a xGA/60 of 1.37, which is stellar, he's third on the team.
But his xGF/60 is only 1.0, which is well behind every member of the second and third lines.
I'd like to think this is a step in the right direction. Quiet your zone, than start to learn how to counter on transition.

That's totally fair, and a good point.
That line does seem pretty muted on offense at the moment, and I'm really hoping that the powerplay success gets them motivated and moving on 5 on 5. We know they CAN do it; we've seen it in the past.
If they can build that 5 on 5 offense in this next game, then the outlook for our two top lines could be pretty rosy!
