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.
