In his second year in the NHL, Denis Malgin is already well on his way to surpassing last year’s numbers. In just 16 games, the 20-year-old forward from Olten, Switzerland already has 5G, 1A, combining for 6 points all together.
One of those was a clutch game winning goal on the road against the Rangers back in November. Malgin seems to be heating up quickly, as all of his goals have come after Thanksgiving.
What’s making a difference in Malgin’s hot stretch is getting more shots on goal, and being given the opportunity to play top six minutes.
