Penguins' Evgeni Malkin: Opens Game 1 scoring with power-play tally

Malkin buried a power-play goal to open the scoring in Monday's Game 1 win over Nashville.

The goal was Malkin's fifth point over his past four games, and he's now three points clear of Sidney Crosby for the postseason lead. Malkin is up to 154 points -- 56 goals -- through 143 playoff games, and the Russian continues to be a driving force for the Penguins offense. It's also worth noting that Monday's power-play goal was his first with the man advantage in these playoffs, but Malkin has collected an impressive 10 power-play assists.
