On the power play:
"It’s definitely frustrating. There are times where that’s the difference between winning and losing. I really don’t think it’s a lack of effort. I think everybody wants to do well. It’s just been a matter of not executing well."
On Evgeni Malkin's slump:
"Practice is all you can do. It’s again, when you talk about confidence, not scoring in games makes it tough to build that confidence and get on that roll or get that momentum. I think the next best thing is to get it through practice. The more you can bear down in practice, hopefully with time you’ll come back and it carries over to games. He practices hare and he always has. He’s going to find a way to score. It’s just a matter of time. There are always tough times like this that everybody goes through."
The Pens game in Philly on January 24th will be NBC's "NHL Game of the Week."
Go Pens.
