Power plays pretty much have one huge defensive responsibility: don’t turn the puck over at the blueline. We don’t have the exact stat (because that would take forever to research), but that probably results in a shorthanded goal against 90 percent of the time.
Derek Stepan steals puck, scores breakaway shorthanded goal
The Rangers center continues his strong return.


So when New York Rangers penalty killer Derek Stepan deflected a New Jersey Devils pass at the point, you knew what was about to happen.
Poor Cory Schneider just can’t catch a break this year. By the way, that’s Stepan’s fourth goal and 20th point since making his season debut on Nov. 8 (and he later scored another goal in the second period). Not a bad start for the Rangers center.
