Kapanen has been the most opportunistic Penguin this season. He leads the NHL in 5v5 on-ice shooting percentage (13.5%) and is shooting 17.2%, a career-high by 4.5 percentage points.
Most of that is luck, but some of it comes down to how effective he& #39;s been off the rush.

Out of his 23 5v5 points, 14 have come off of rush plays. Per Corey Sznajder& #39;s data, he ranks near the bottom of the team in terms of shots off the forecheck or cycle, and 1st in shots off the rush.
