To be honest I don't see five on five shut down and killing penalties as a venn diagram. Very different strategically.
To make a note of your last point, look at Kevin Bahl.

Seems to be a fine defender, but I was pulling my hair out watching him and Andersson flail around on the PK. He seems to have the perfect PK build but his decision making on the PK was very bad for much of the year.
