absence to post a goal and an assist as the Pittsburgh Penguins took a 4-3 win
over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday. Malkin, last year's Hart Trophy

Florida on Feb. 22, but was back on the ice to help the Penguins to their
second straight win. Sidney Crosby added a goal and an assist while Chris
Kunitz and James Neal also scored for Pittsburgh, which got 25 saves from
Marc-Andre Fleury. Steven Stamkos scored twice while Tom Pyatt also scored
for the Lightning, who have dropped their past five games. Mathieu Garon

undisclosed injury. He stopped 12-of-13 shots while Anders Lindback allowed
two goals on 18 shots in the loss.
