Best penalty killer in the league? How is that quantified?

New to hockey this year, what’s a penalty killer?

I must have missed the stat where Marner scored more goals than Matthews in 2 consecutive seasons, or won face offs….
But it’s definitely going to be polarizing topic a year from now where a playoff performance will be used to set this price

They are normally the most defensive minded players on the team. They are on what is called a » special teams line. So on top of their normal lines , they do extra minutes during penalty kills. Marner and Aho are being discussed because they are absolute shit disturbers and can read plays before they happen and steal the puck , often going the other way and scoring.
Which is great because you expect to get a goal against on a pk , so getting a goal is a double positive.
It also makes the team on the powerplay look like dicks for added benefit

Marner is an invisible man come playoffs.
