FWIW the Lowell penalty kill stats are second in Hockey East while their power
play was around 4th or 5th last I checked.  I don't have BC's stats, but BC's
poor showing on the power play could be at least partially attributable to
what seems like a strength for UML (despite the fact that they've used just
about every forward on the unit).
