Penguins Power-play Showing Some Promise

The Penguins power-play was looking pretty impressive last night. They were 3 / 6 on the power-play scoring all 3 of their goals on a 1- or 2-man advantage.

According to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, the big difference was increased puck movement during 5-on-3 power-play opportunities.
Forwards Jordan Staal, Miroslav Satan and Petr Sykora worked up front. Crosby and Malkin played catch with the puck high in the offensive zone, and Satan and Sykora capitalized on a loose puck, the result of Malkin's shot, for a goal that gave the Penguins' a three-tally cushion.
