Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
PITTSBURGH, Feb. 12 (UPI) -- Evgeni Malkin scored twice Sunday, padding his league-leading scoring totals in the Pittsburgh Penguins' 4-2 victory over Tampa Bay.
After Tampa Bay's Steve Downie had scored twice within 11 seconds to hand the Lightning an early 2-0 lead, but Malkin began a Penguins comeback that saw them rack up four answered goals.
His power-play tally late in the first period halved the Pens' deficit, and Chris Kunitz scored the equalizer only 56 seconds into the middle frame.
Kris Letang's marker 3 1/2 minutes later put Pittsburgh ahead and Malkin's 32nd goal of the year capped the run.
The Penguins' center boosted his point total to an NHL-best 69 with the performance.
Brent Johnson earned the win with 21 saves and James Neal added three assists.
Mathieu Garon yielded four goals on 41 shots for Tampa Bay.
