Penguins' Evgeni Malkin: Mixed bag Wednesday

Malkin scored his ninth goal of the season but registered a minus-3 rating Wednesday against the Islanders.

Analysis:

He's scored just one power-play goal in 2016-17 and has only two goals on the man advantage in his last 33 regular-season contests. Along with Sidney Crosby, Malkin leads the Penguins with 22 points (nine goals, 13 assists) -- but he's played in six more games than his fellow star center.
