An outstanding shooter doesn't always make a great fit on a power play, even a terrific power play.

Man, I wouldn't mind seeing Gagor Chino Kov get a shot at it.

Good morning to you.

Good.

Wednesday morning, I'm Daniel Kovach of DK. Pittsburgh Sports.

This is Daily Shot of Penguins.

It comes your way right in early every weekday.

If you're into football and or baseball, I also offer daily shots.

The other two teams in town that I cover, the Steelers and the Pirates.

I hope you'll check those out as well.

Penguins versus Blackhawks tomorrow night at PPG Paints Arena.

That'll be a 708 p.m. faceoff.

It'll be the first action the team's seen since the 4-0 Western trip.

And since yesterday, Brian Rust was suspended three games by the

NHL, just a laughable ruling for his flying arm or shoulder or elbow or whatever it was

that made contact with Brock Besser in Vancouver, but only after Besser had been pinballed from

behind by Ricard Raquel and then crashed into Sidney Crosby in front, and no one has any

idea how he was hurt, but hey, there's three games. Rust is going to be out for the entire

homestand as a result.

And that means you could try some different stuff.

Not to ever suggest that being without Rust is a good thing.

And not to suggest that the power play is in need of some dramatic upgrade,
