We have spent the past month — literally, the past month — watching the Pittsburgh Penguins power play fail to get out of its own way and not only not score any goals, but not even really come close to scoring. The power play drought finally ended on Tuesday night with a Jared McCann goal late in the second period to tie the game against the New York Rangers, helping the Penguins at least secure a point in the standings.
Also helping the Penguins secure a point in the standings: The penalty kill unit for two huge kills in the third period, including one very late, to keep the game tied and get it to overtime.
