They need to tighten up their penalty kill, but the biggest improvement has come in their 5×5 goals for and against. If they want to be a legit playoff contender, their 5×5 goals against/game needs to hover around 1.7-1.85/game. They’ve allowed 47 power play goals and are a woeful 70.4% on the PK. It is remarkable how a team can be so good preventing goals 5×5, but so inept on the PK. He is scheduled to play game 1,000 on Thursday, March 17th v. Nashville.
