Penguins' Evgeni Malkin: Vows to be better

Malkin was unhappy with his game after a disappointing performance for Team Russia at the recent World Cup of Hockey despite scoring a goal and adding three assists in four games, reports NHL.com.

Analysis:

Malkin said he "tried to use [his] partners, but my confidence [is] when I play with the puck." He intends to "play more with the puck" for the Pens this season and that spells good news for fantasy owners. Malkin is a bull in a china shop when he takes the puck in his own hands.
