Fixing the power play must be the Pittsburgh Penguins top priority this season.
The 2023-24 Pittsburgh Penguins had many issues. However, none had as considerable an impact on their season as their abysmal power play. The Penguins finished last season 30th in the NHL on the man advantage.
On the ice, the Penguins will likely deploy the same power play personnel to begin the season. Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby remain on the top unit as they have for 18 and 19 seasons, respectively. Karlsson will quarterback the unit up top, with Bryan Rust on the left-half wall. It has been four seasons since the Penguins traded forward Patric Hornqvist, creating a major hole on the power play. Hornqvist's presence in the net front and ability to be a prominent scoring threat near the crease made the Penguins a force on the man advantage.
