— Kris Letang, Evgeni Malkin each scored two goals and the Penguins got three goals from defensemen in a 6-5 win over the New York Rangers on Sunday afternoon. Killing off a 4:00 minute Sidney Crosby high sticking penalty to open the third period loomed large as Pittsburgh would score three unanswered goals in a 5:19 span following the Crosby penalty. Letang put the Penguins ahead 4-3 with a blistering shot from the right circles, 4:36 into the period, off a zone entry from Crosby. Malkin with 4 goals in his last two games, scored back-to-back goals 2:31 apart at 7:24 and 9:55 of the third period to push the Penguins lead to 6-3. As defense was optional most of the day, Pittsburgh and New York combined for 11 goals and 85 shots on goal.–
