Trimming Ovechkin's power play time to allow a guy like Niskanen in to the PP mix and give Ovie a break (while also not getting trapped out there on D after the PP has ended) is not a catastrophic decision. He'll still find a way to be in the top 5/top 10 in PP time. Smacking a bit of hyperbole with talk such as "benching" him on the PP. In reality, he plays 1:30 rather than the full 2, or something like that.
