Penguins have to get more from the power play

Three weeks ago today was Sunday October 13th. It was 20 power play chances ago for the Pittsburgh Penguins in the second period against the Winnipeg Jets when Jake Guentzel scored, assisted by not-exactly-PP-specialists in Brian Dumoulin and Marcus Pettersson.

It’s also the last power play goal the Pens have managed.

Ironically, since then they’ve scored three goals while short-handed since that moment, but nothing while having the man advantage.

Part of the slump is doubtlessly personnel issues from a rough October. Evgeni Malkin only played four periods in the whole month then was out of the lineup.
