The NHL credited Malkin with a curious winning goal in the match against the Islanders
NHL statisticians credited Russian Pittsburgh forward Evgeni Malkin with the winning goal in the regular season match against the New York Islanders.
The game ended with a score of 3:2. The Penguins’ third goal was originally credited to forward Philip Tomasino. He made a long shot at the goal, hit Russian defender Alexander Romanov, and the puck ricocheted into the goal from Romanov.
On the replay of the statistics, they noticed that, after Tomasino’s throw, the puck touched Malkin’s knee and then bounced off to Romanov. The NHL credited the winning goal to the Russian striker.
This is Malkin’s eighth goal in 38 games. He has 31 points (8+23).
