Pittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin served his two minutes in the penalty box Saturday for slashing Logan Stanley in the first period.
Stanley appeared to get away with a hold behind the Winnipeg Jets’ net, and Malkin flashed his frustration as the Penguins trailed by a couple of goals by turning and delivering a hard two-handed slash to Stanley’s shin pads at 15:43 of the first period.
