tz has helped too."Their power play is good. We knew that going in. If we want to have a good chance to win a game, we're going to have to shoot (it) down ... It's huge for them." --Ottawa goalie Craig Anderson on Pittsburgh's power play, which produced two goals in a 4-1 victory in Game 1"We practice our power play with a couple different looks, depending on what situation in the game," Bylsma said. "We're ready and willing to do all those looks. All have been practiced and have been good and we're ready to go with any of those."Some of the various options at the Penguins' disposal include using a forward such as Malkin, Iginla or Neal at the point in lieu of Martin. But later in games or when Pittsburgh is protecting a lead, Bylsma has tended to use two defensemen.Neal was the "trigger man" during most of last season and the majority of this season until Iginla arrived in a March 28 trade. Almost unbelievably, that has often made Neal -- a player who led the NHL in power-play goals in 2011-12 and was third in that category this season -- expendable.Neal was not on the ice for either of the Penguins' goals with the extra man in Game 1.Pittsburgh's power play is clicking at 36 percent in the playoffs without a single goal from either Neal or Malkin. Counting playoffs, Malkin has 98 career power-play goals.Imagine when those two start producing. Even the Senators, who killed a League-best 88 percent of opponents' power plays during the regular season,Marian Hossa Authentic Jersey, are weary."This is the kind of team where everybody in their lineup can score, and we've got to be stronger," Methot said. "Whether we've got to play with more discipline, whatever it is,Brandon Dubinsky Jersey, whatever the answer, [preventing Penguins power-play goals] is something we have to focus in on for sure."
LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Kings centre Jarret Stoll is likely to miss Game 2 of Los Angeles' second-round playoff series against the Sharks after a hard hit from San Jose's Raffi Torres in the opener.Los Angeles coach Darryl Sutter implied Wednesday that Stoll could be out for a significant length of time after getting hit by Torres, who has a history of dangerous play.Torres hit Stoll late in the second period of the defending Stanley Cup champions' 2-0 victory over San Jose on Tuesday. Stoll didn't return.Torres is expected to have an in-person disciplinary hearing with NHL officials over the hit. Game 2 is Thursday night.Sutter says he thought the hit was "careless." A suspension for Torres wouldn't make him feel better because "our player is quite a bit more important than theirs."
