The Penguins’ power play has never lacked for star power, but so far this season it has flashed some of its depth, too.
Through five games, the Penguins are tied for second in the NHL with six man-advantage goals on the season. Their 26.1 percent success rate is seventh-best in the league.
Four of those goals have come from the mainstay top-unit players — Kris Letang, Phil Kessel, Evgeni Malkin, Patric Hornqvist and Sidney Crosby. But Conor Sheary and Bryan Rust have also tallied power-play goals this season, and Jake Guentzel’s first-period score against Tampa Bay Thursday night might as well count, too, as it came just four seconds after a Lightning power play expired.
