Morning Tidbits: Struggles on the PK in the playoffs, date back to last post-season

Some Pre-Morning Skate Tidbits

*Penguins take the ice this morning at 11:30 a.m. The buzz right now is Eric Tangradi will replace Chris Kunitz in the lineup tonight but nothing definite at this point.

Comrie is next up on the depth chart but Tangradi gives the Penguins more versatility with their lineup.

*The Penguins vaunted penalty kill unit has had few answers for the Lightning, most notably Marty St. Louis who has 3 power play goals in the series.

The Lightning are 4-for-11 on the power play in the series.

In the post-season, Penguins struggles on the PK date back to the 2010 playoffs. Since the 2010 post-season, Pittsburgh has given up 16 power play goals on 54 chances, a span of 16 post-season games. Pittsburgh is 63.1% on the PK in their first round series with Tampa.

*An under-rated part of the Penguins play through three games has been their ability in the faceoff circle, most notably Mark Letestu, Craig Adams, and Max Talbot.

Craig Adams (56.5%; 13-for-23)....
