Penguins' Evgeni Malkin: Ends pointless streak

Malkin scored a goal and an assist in a 6-3 victory against the Avalanche on Tuesday.

He had a three-game pointless streak entering Tuesday, so this ends that slump. That's not much of a slump, but Malkin did also post a minus-7 rating in those three games with no points. He has work to do to bring his plus/minus back to the positive (he's also at minus-7 for the season), but Malkin has 10 goals and 32 points in 26 games.
