The ebbs and flows of the Penguins' record this season often go hand-in-hand with the Penguins' power play's successes and failures.
When the power play is on, the wins follow more often than not. The same is true in the reverse.
When the Penguins' power play went through it's worst stretch of the season from Oct. 29 through Nov. 29, they went just 4-for-41 on the power play for a 9.8% success rate that ranked dead last in the league during that timeframe. They lost more often than they won during that stretch, going 7-5-3.
