Since Nov. 5, no team in the NHL has a better success rate on the penalty-kill than the Penguins, who are clicking at 93.8% in 11 games during that time.
That's a major turnaround for a penalty-kill unit that ranked toward the bottom of the league and was hemorrhaging high-danger attempts against through the first 11 games of the season.
The return of Teddy Blueger has obviously had a major impact, but as he said following the Penguins' optional morning skate before taking on the Hurricanes here at PPG Paints Arena on Tuesday, things are just coming together at the right time for the penalty-kill.
