Punishment from Gino was inevitableFor Evgeni Malkin, this NHL season is special. Before its start, one of the best Russian hockey players in history had to be pretty nervous because of difficult negotiations with Pittsburgh about the details of a new contract with the club. Gino really wanted to stay in the camp of the Penguins, but the very limited space under the salary cap made this task much more difficult. As a result, the parties nevertheless agreed to continue cooperation: Eugene will spend four more seasons for Pittsburgh and earn $ 24.4 million during this period. Thus, the trio of veterans “Penguins” Malkin – Crosby – Letang will spend side by side for the 17th season in the NHL! The result was determined at the beginning of the first period, when the hosts of PJG Paints Arena led 3-0 by the sixth minute. “Coyotes” from desperation could only be rude and play dirty. So, for example, did defender Shane Gostisber, who used a dangerous power trick on Malkin with a rick to inflict injury on the Russian. Moreover, the judges did not see any crime in this episode, but Malkin was removed for his completely logical discontent. Gino got into a skirmish with Gostisber's teammates and received a two-minute penalty.
