If you have more players who are stronger offensively, why not use that to your advantage 5 on 5? Why only the PP?
Same with defence. Suppose you've collected 10 defensemen who are all above average, and half of them are shut down where the opposition is really going to struggle to break them down and score, why not roll 3 D for the whole game?
You'll see some soccer clubs employ anywhere from 3 to 4 to 5 defenders.

Agreed. Or trying out other new things.
Down by 2 goals with 3 minutes remaining.. take out the goalie and play 6 forwards (basically the entire top 6)..worth a shot imo. Or 4 forwards and 1 dman if down by 3 with 10 mins to go
