NEWARK, N.J. -- Evgeni Malkin scored two goals and the Pittsburgh Penguins took advantage of a couple of defensive lapses by New Jersey in posting a 6-1 victory over the Devils on Sunday night.
Matt Cullen, Nick Bonino, Bryan Rust and Scott Wilson also scored. Backup goaltender Matt Murray made 17 saves as the Penguins rebounded from a dismal performance against Calgary 24 hours earlier.
Kyle Palmieri scored his 25th goal of the season for New Jersey, which played without injured All Star goaltender Cory Schneider, who had limited Pittsburgh to six goals in the last six meeting.
