Malkin leads Penguins
in 4-2 win over Flyers
Evgeni Malkin scored two dazzling goals 5 minutes apart to give host Pittsburgh a two-goal lead, after Sidney Crosby tied it, and the Penguins rode their two big stars to a victory over cross-state rival Philadelphia in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals Friday night.
Malkin scored with 6.5 seconds left in the first period with a tired Flyers line on the ice to put Pittsburgh up 3-2.
The pivotal goal blunted much of the momentum the Flyers gained by briefly taking a 2-1 lead on Mike Richards' two goals.
Malkin's first career short-handed goal, on a breakaway created by Sergei Gonchar's pass from one end of the ice to the other early in the second, was the crusher for the Flyers, who didn't do much offensively after that despite taking 28 shots against goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury.
The Penguins won their ninth in 10 playoff games and are 6-0 at home, the first team in franchise history to begin the playoffs with that many successive home-ice wins. Game 2 is Sunday night before the series shifts to Philadelphia on Tuesday.
