Goals scored while in the box stat (lemm.ee)

Casual hockey fan here, mostly a Red Wings fan. I've been failing to find a stat that shows how many power play goals are scored for each player who gets a penalty. My thought is, if your team is scored against while you're in the box, your team needs you and it was a costly penalty. Conversely, if your team is not scored against while you were in the box, they can play without you just fine, so go ahead and take a penalty.

Does this metric not exist? There's stats for power play goals scored, of course, and each team's penalty kill ratio, but I want to know whose team can most and least effectively kill the penalty per penalized player.

EDIT: I'm also curious about "retributive power play goals" For example, player A gets tripped by player B, and player A then scores on the power play.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Oh man, I totally misinterpreted the title until I read the body.

I thought you were asking for a stat for individual players scoring WHILE serving a penalty in the box. I was like "Uhhhh.......none? Has that EVER happened? Even if it somehow did, wouldn't the goal be disallowed?"

Then I read the body, and thought "Oh, ok. No your way makes more sense."

Hahaha, I tried a few different variations and couldn't get something concise. I guess technically someone could be serving a penalty assessed to a goalie, but the goalie still wouldn't be in the box.
