Penguins' Evgeni Malkin: Struggles in 7-1 loss to Caps
Malkin's four-game point streak ended Wednesday in Washington.
Analysis:
The center had a rough night Wednesday, taking a season-high three minor penalties against the Caps. Malkin also knocked his own goalie, Matt Murray, from the game when his swinging stick clipped Murray across the mouth. He'll look to get back on track Friday against the Islanders, whom Malkin's faced 51 times, racking up 24 goals and 41 assists.
