The big guns were a blazin’ as Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby, the black-and-gold version of mac-and-cheese, combined for five goals during the Kraft Hockeyville classic, including a hat trick by Geno.
On the night, the big guy fired off six shots on goal and finished a team-best plus-2. Sidekick Sid displayed good chemistry with newcomer Anthony Beauvillier.
Bryan Rust and Rickard Rakell each notched a pair of assists.
The power-play converted on two-of-three opportunities (!!!) with Geno and Sid doing the honors. Even a middle-of-the-pack power play would be a huge improvement over last season’s dismal showing and greatly enhance our chances of garnering a playoff berth.
