Evgeni Malkin Stays Hot In Tuesday's Victory
5 years agoPittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin continued his torrid play over the past few months on Tuesday, leading the way with two goals and an assist in his team's 7-3 win over the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday. In addition to the trio of points, Malkin finished the night with a plus-one rating, a game-high six shots on goal and one hit in 17:36 of ice time in the victory. Despite missing nearly a full month due to injury earlier in the season, the Russian superstar has stepped up and produced 44 points (13 goals, 31 assists), a plus-13 rating, 12 power-play points and 110 shots in 32 games in 2019-2020. He's fully bounced back from a rare off-year last season and should be valued as a top-15 fantasy asset moving forward. He'll lace up the skates next against the Bruins on Thursday.
