Watch: Malkin roofs nasty backhand

Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin are getting all of the hype, but don't forget about Evgeni Malkin.

The Pittsburgh Penguins forward scored a highlight-reel goal Thursday night in Game 1 against the Washington Capitals, lifting an incredible shot just over Braden Holtby on his backhand.

Malkin's second-period marker came less than a minute after teammate Ben Lovejoy tied the game, but Washington's T.J. Oshie scored 33 seconds after Malkin to tie it up again.

The teams combined for three goals in 90 seconds.
