Watch: Frustrated Kessel loses it at Penguins' bench

Phil Kessel was having a Monday.

With the Pittsburgh Penguins dominating possession in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Final yet still unable to score, frustrations boiled over for Kessel in the second period, as he was visibly upset after basically every shift he took.

And he wasn't too happy with Evgeni Malkin for not moving the puck on one of those shifts.

Malkin wasn't happy, either, as only Chris Kunitz separated him from Kessel on the bench, so he heard the rant, whatever it was. The exchange led to head coach Mike Sullivan having a word with Malkin:

Kessel would have his moment late in the third period, scoring the lone goal in a 1-0 win for the Penguins to tie up the series.

The primary assist went to Malkin. He certainly moved the puck on the winner.
