What is Wrong with Moscow's PP?

The Moscow Menace sit 1 point back from leading the European Conference with a 15-9-1 record 25 games in. The problem? They are converting just 9.65% of their power play opportunities. That is good for DEAD last, that is right the 16th ranked power play in the league. How does a team with a core of Nico Pearce, Tomas Sogaard, Ronan Lavelle, Hammar Voss and AK92 Wit Da Hoodie produce such a minuscule power play? Moscow's power play was predicted to be the best in the league, so it comes as a surprise they are quite the opposite. They have played around with the lines, but still haven't gotten the right formula. Perhaps it just needs some patience. Moscow's redeeming quality has been it has the 3rd best PK, killing 86.89% of their penalties. In the NHL, you can win in the playoffs with an average, or even mediocre PP, as long as you have an elite PK unit. In the VHL, PP success is more optimal. Moscow is still sitting in a good spot despite the lack of production with the extra man. If they can get this going before the playoffs, the Menace will no doubt command fear in the post-season.
