The Pittsburgh Penguins had been struggling with their power play, which was among the worst in the NHL. Recently, though, there’s been a notable shift.
In their last four games, the team has scored six goals during power plays, climbing to a league-leading performance. The improvement was on full display in their latest game against the Minnesota Wild.
Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel, spearheading the top line, each scored during power plays, playing a pivotal role in securing the Penguins a 4-3 victory. Adding to the night’s significance, Marc-Andre Fleury possibly played his last game in Pittsburgh, a significant backdrop to the team’s victory.
