Penguins should use Egor Chinakhov more on the top power play, a fan blog argues, citing his shooting.
PensBurgh writes that Chinakhov has had a goal waved off on a borderline interference call and several shots hit the post, and that his 28.8 power-play shot attempts per 60 minutes are the most on the team. The post says the top power-play unit has been struggling to score and create chances.
