The Penguins of Pittsburgh, represented by Theodore Bluger yesterday, defeated Nashville’s Predators 3-0 in the field, becoming the team’s main captain, Sydney’s two-man team, who scored two goals, including a victory in the overtime.
Jevgenijs Malkins, on the other hand, immediately after the end of the second third became sharp with the opponent’s defender Mark Borovecki. The “Penguins” center pushed the stick into the face of the rival, for which he earned 2 + 2 penalty minutes for a game with a high stick. However, the incident has also been reviewed by the Player Safety Department.
He has decided to disqualify Malkin for four games, during which he will not be rewarded. This $ 190,000 will go to the Players’ Emergency Fund.
Eight games until the end of the regular season, the Penguins rank third in the Metropolitan Division. Catching six points ahead of the New York Rangers will be difficult, but four points behind Washington’s Capitals.
In the next four games, Pittsburgh will play twice against the Islanders of New York and twice against the Bruins of Boston.
Evgeni Malkin has been suspended four games for cross-checking Mark Borowiecki.
Right amount of games or too harsh? ???? pic.twitter.com/4NR4c7tN5K
