The Penguins’ power play during the regular season was borderline lethal. It is impressive that, for a franchise that has won five Stanley Cups and once employed guys such as Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr, this season’s club set the team record for power play efficiency.
Pittsburgh hit on more than 26 percent of its chances. The league average is about 20.
The Flyers are down, 2-1, in this Eastern Conference series on merit. Put on as many dog masks as you want, but give the Penguins seven power plays, totaling 11:23, and they will carve you up as they did the Flyers on Sunday at the Wells Fargo Center.
