Evgeni Malkin Promoted to Top Line, Assists in Penguins Win

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin was paired on the top line alongside Sidney Crosby prior to Saturday's game in an effort to spark the team's offense. The 40-year-old veteran made an immediate impact, sending a second-period one-timer toward the net that deflected off Crosby for a goal. The line combination helped Pittsburgh snap its four-game losing skid with a 5-2 victory against the Los Angeles Kings.
