Click here or look below for penalty kill rates in the NHL since 2/24/18, the day after the Penguins traded Ian Cole
(And commence flip out in 3.....2.....1...)
30th in a 31 team league isn’t great. Do the Pens miss Cole in this area? Probably. He’s just one guy in that group though so I think his importance or loss could be over-stated or over-analyzed a bit. The Pittsburgh PK was really good early in the season - from 12/1 to 2/23 they were #1 in the league with a 88.
