Penguins Powerplay - More Than A Hot Streak

The Penguins powerplay has been one of the best in the league recently. Can that continue?

The Penguins started their season scoring only twice on 31 powerplays in their first nine games - a 6.45% conversion rate. In the following 15 games since then, they have scored 13 goals on 56 attempts (a 23.21% PP). No other team has scored more powerplay goals in that span.

Pens now have a PPG in 7 straight GP (8-for-30). It's their longest such streak since recording PPGs in 12 straight Feb. 3-26, 2013.

Is it only a hot streak?
