Evgeni Malkin Posts Two-Point Night On Tuesday
6 years agoPittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin scored a goal and added an assist in his team's 6-3 defeat of the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday. Coming off an uncharacteristic three-game pointless drought, Malkin registered his tally just 6:52 into the contest and recorded his assist on an insurance marker to put the game at 5-3. Despite the mini-cold streak coming into Tuesday's action, the 32-year-old has been up to his old tricks for the majority of the 2018-2019 season. Through 26 games, Malkin has posted 32 points (ten goals, 22 assists), 34 penalty minutes, ten power-play points and 60 shots on goal. He's undoubtedly a top-ten fantasy asset when healthy and should be started each game he suits up. Malkin will look to find the scoresheet once again against the Islanders on Thursday.
