Is playing Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel on the penalty kill is worth the risk?

We have not seen it a lot right now, but one of the more intriguing moves Pittsburgh Penguins coach Mike Sullivan has made in recent weeks has been giving Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel some time together on the penalty kill.

They were out there for a brief stretch again on Tuesday night in the Penguins’ 5-1 win over the Florida Panthers and wasted no time in doing what they have done pretty much every time they have been out there — created an odd-man rush and nearly scored a goal.

I don’t know how much of this we are going to end up seeing, but I like it.
