Evgeni Malkin Scores PPG but Exits Game to Injury on the Same Play

Tough break for Evgeni Malkin here.

He deflects a slapshot from Sidney Crosby off of his knee and immediately hit the deck. His night is over, as one reporter said he was walking around the rink afterwards with his knee wrapped in ice.

Malkin's past has been riddled with knee injuries, so the Pens can only hope that this has no lasting impact for the Russian.

On a positive note, Pittsburgh won their 7th consecutive game with Thursday's 4-2 victory over the Florida Panthers. They currently sit T-2nd in the Metropolitan Division with the Carolina Hurricanes, each one win behind the New Jersey Devils, who have lost 4 in a row.
