Watch: Malkin ends playoff scoring drought
by from on (#1GBS2)
Evgeni Malkin is back on the board.
Held without a goal over his past six playoff games, the Pittsburgh Penguins superstar center finally converted, scoring on the power play in the second period of Game 4.
The goal was set up by Phil Kessel - his second assist of the night - who deftly passed the puck to Malkin while Martin Jones and the San Jose Sharks were anticipating a shot.
Malkin scored his fifth of the playoffs on the play, but only his second in 16 games.
That is Malkin's first goal in 7 games (since G4 vs. TBL in ECF) - and his second in 16 games (G1 vs. WSH in ECSF).
