VIDEO: Malkin dazzles defense for game-winning goal
Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports / USA TODAY Sports
Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin had himself a night.
The 29-year-old accepted a pass from Phil Kessel, dragged the puck between his own legs, split two defenders, and beat Minnesota Wild goaltender Devan Dubnyk short side for his second goal and fourth point on Tuesday.
The goal would give the Penguins a 4-1 lead, and they held on for a 4-3 victory. Malkin now has 16 points in 18 games to lead the Penguins.
