Malkin Powers Pens to Comeback Victory
Sean Leahy's Going Five Hole —
It was just 18 days ago that the Penguins and Islanders met at Nassau Coliseum with New York blowing a 3-1 lead and Pittsburgh winning 4-3 in a controversial shootout. Tonight, the Islanders had a 3-0 lead and were dominating play until Penguins coach Michel Therrien went to old reliable. He paired Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin on the top line to spark some offense and that changed the whole complexion of the game. In a 5:35 span in the third period, the two Pittsburgh superstars combined for three goals and Malkin later added an empty-netter to seal the game and tally his third career hat-trick, that of the natural style.

Puck Daddy —
First, from the Department of Self-Congratulatory Nonsense: Thanks to Corey Masisak for giving Puck Daddy much play in his Washington Times article about the charms of translated Russian-language interviews with players.
