They were excellent at the start of the season scoring each game on the power play.
A power play and penalty kill are interchangable terms. It just depends on who you are talking about. All it means is the period you are playing with more players than the other team due to them committing a penalty.
Example: Blackhawks player gains the zone and is about to have a breakaway. The opposing team wants to prevent the player from getting a clean shot off but in the attempt to slow the Blackhawks player he accidentally hooks him. This is a 2 minute penalty. A power play would be talking about the Blackhawks during that 2 minute period because they are playing 5 guys versus the other teams 4. A penalty kill would be talking about the opposing team during that 2 minute period.
