Based on that, he probably isn't, but he's a guy you can use on the PK.
I wouldn't put much into those PK and PP stats. It's kind of odd they put them in there when they are trying to isolate individual player performance as the PP and PK are big team events. Unless you are a goalie, you can't kill a penalty on your own. Your teammates have a big impact on special teams maybe even more so than 5 on 5.
As long as he has killed penalties and knows how to, that's probably what you need. His efficiency in the PK can be adjusted by the PK structure of the team and by who he plays with.
