Goals and points are among the last statistics you look for next to Craig Adams' name, especially on a Penguins team headlined by offensive stars.

"I think if you do that consistently in the other team's end and you're cycling and you're putting pucks on the net, then you're going to create offense and you're going to get points," Adams said this week. "I think it's indicative that I haven't been doing that enough -- or effectively."
