We didn't change anything in the penalty-killing tactics or role requirements, other than the general changes that affected all of the tactical fit scores. It may be that the offensive players you're seeing may have the correct skills to fit the PK tactic in question.
And there is a routine to prioritize faceoff skill for one of the PK slots - if a good faceoff man doesn't get the first PK forward spot, it'll put more emphasis on that attribute when looking at the second one. Although that doesn't necessarily mean the player will be primarily a centre, just that he'll be decent on faceoffs.
