5 years agoPittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin led the team to a 5-2 victory over New Jersey on Tuesday, collecting two goals and one assist. Evan Rodrigues and Justin Schultz scored before Malkin made the game safe in the final frame. Kris Letang recorded one goal and one assist. Malkin is off to a red-hot start to the month, as he's put together a five-game point streak during which he's notched a total of 11 points. He had points in just three of his previous eight games, so something clearly clicked for the Russian. He now has 25 goals and 74 points for the season ahead of a big rivalry game against Columbus. Malkin has managed 32 points in 26 career games against the Blue Jackets, including two in two outings this season.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
