The Pittsburgh Penguins had all five of their top power play players in place last night, but from how it looked on the ice, you probably couldn’t guess it.
The Pens failed to score a goal in nine power play chances against a depleted Detroit Red Wings team. That amounted to a total of 16:47 worth of time, nearly a full period.
Worse than that, they not only failed to score, the Pens failed to threaten very often. Natural Stat Trick recorded just four high danger scoring chances. That was matched by the Red Wings having four HD scoring chances, one of which they actually scored on.
