It’s all about the Evgeni Malkin 1,000th game celebration early on. No. 71 jerseys for everyone, lots of video tributes for the man of the hour.
First period
The Penguins are fired up after all the Malkin love and how could they not be? Just 2:09 into the game, Jeff Carter finds no less than Jan Rutta jumping up in the play and Rutta slips a shot by Daniel Vladar. Also shoutout Flames for not playing Jacob Markstrom tonight.
Bryan Rust scores off a Malkin pass - but wait Calgary challenges.
