After a year of frustration, Evgeni Malkin had a bounce-back season for the Pittsburgh Penguins. He made this year his and is showing his worth once more.
It’s true, during the season last year, Evgeni Malkin was hurting the Pittsburgh Penguins more than helping them. So badly, that Jim Rutherford, the Penguins GM, was entertaining the thought of selling him. Thank God they didn’t because his turn around campaign has been electric, and a crucial part of Pittsburgh’s success this year.
