Marc-Andre Fleury flipped the puck out of the defensive zone and out to center ice. Along the wall, Evgeni Malkin picked up the loose puck, used a burst of speed to get by the one defenseman standing between him and the goal, and went in on net alone.
A simple Malkin shot through the five hole of goaltender Seymon Varlamov gave the Penguins a 1-0 lead, followed by an awesome celebration where Malkin essentially jumped into his teammates on the bench.
Video of the goal:
Seconds after the goal, Brooks Laich of the Capitals stormed the crease of Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury. He was whistled for goaltender interference, giving the Penguins a man advantage. The Capitals were able to successfully kill it off, though. Things are certainly getting chippy.
