Report: Sidney Crosby hints at a key potential improvement for the Pens!

The Captain Tells It Like It Is In front of the media

Penalty killing, obviously, is an important part of the game when it comes to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Each of the champs finished in the top 11 in the regular season, and four finished fifth or higher. Five of the seven teams were top five in the playoffs, too as reported by Matt Larkin from the Hockey News.

The Nashville Predators should pay attention to this key stat as Sidney Crosby hinted at a improvement for the Pens! 

Crosby declared to the media on the Penguins improving their power play: “I’ve got to win a few more faceoffs here.” More faceoff wins results in more puck possession time which may lead to better scoring opportunities.

“That probably starts with me maybe winning a few more faceoffs,” said Penguins captain Sidney Crosby, who won just 10 of 29 draws in Game 2. “I think that would go a long way as far as getting possession. It really comes down to execution. We have guys out there who can make plays and are capable and when there is a mistake, we have to find a way to make a play and get a chance.”

Will the captain step up his game and lead his team to a 3-0 lead in their series against the Nashville Predators?
