Hollywood could not have scripted this any better.
Pittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin and his fiancee Anna Kasterova welcomed a baby boy into the world on May 31, and little Nikita's birth weight (7 pounds, 1 ounce) just so happened to correspond with Daddy's jersey No. 71.

Between this and Pittsburgh jumping out to a 2-0 series lead in the Stanley Cup Final, Malkin - who was still wearing his hospital bracelet after Game 2 - is having a week to remember.
