Kris Letang has a 3 point night, Penguins beat the Lightning 4-3
Kris Letang had a great game receiving 3 points on 3 assists! (1st period Crosby goal, 2nd period Malkin goal, 3rd period Crosby goal). The Penguins beat the Lightning 4-3, in Tampa. It was a heavy offensive game by the 2 headed monster: Crosby and Malkin – they had 2 goals each. Kris lead in total ice time with 29:01 – a little under minute to playing HALF the game.

Snap Shots: Penguins 4, Lightning 3
* Malkin got two of those three power-play goals, moving him into second place on the franchise’s all-time list with 111. I was impressed with his game all night, starting with his first shift when he stripped a Bolts player of the puck for a takeaway. Malkin followed that up with a few quality scoring chances at even strength. He finally got rewarded on the man-advantage.
