Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
BOSTON, Oct. 20 (UPI) -- Evgeni Malkin's goal in the fifth round of the shootout Monday gave the Pittsburgh Penguins a 2-1 victory over the Boston Bruins.
The shootout was tied at 1-1 after Boston's Phil Kessel got a backhander over Dany Sabourin in the first round, and Pittsburgh's Petr Sykora slipped a backhander past Tim Thomas in the second.
In the fifth round, Malkin skated in wide and faked once before snapping a quick shot into the left side of the net. Marc Savard had a chance to tie up the shootout again, but Sabourin sent the puck wide to seal the win for the Penguins.
Sabourin, making his first appearance of the season, stopped 35-of-36 shots through the end of overtime for Pittsburgh. Miroslav Satan scored the other Penguins goal.
Thomas made 31 saves for Boston, which has lost three of four.
