For years Youth Brandon Sutter Jersey , Evgeni Malkin has been the other Pittsburgh Penguins star center, often even when he and uber popular teammate Sidney Crosby are both playing lights-out.Malkin is difficult to ignore lately. Going into Saturday’s against the Toronto Maple Leafs at PPG Paints Arena, Malkin has six goals, 11 points over his past six games and, overall, ranked second in the NHL going into Friday’s games with 20 points in 11 games.Centering Pittsburgh’s only line that has stuck together, with wingers Carl Hagelin and Phil Kessel, Malkin has been a force.Article continues below ...“It’s not me. It’s the whole line. It’s the whole team,” Malkin, the league’s No. 2 star of the month for October Brendan Leipsic Jersey Kids , insisted. “I had a great summer. I worked with Alex (Trinca, the Penguins’), conditioning coach. We worked hard all summer. And a little bit of rest. We had some months (off) this year. I play with Phil and (Hagelin). They’re great guys, great players.“I just do my job. I try to do my best. I feel good, fresh. My legs are moving, and I just stay at the same level.”Crosby has still been a worthy bookend. After going the first six games without a goal, he has six goals and 14 points for Pittsburgh (6-2-3) going into the game against Toronto (8-5-0).The Maple Leafs had a one-two offensive punch with homegrown young star Auston Matthews and veteran John Tavares, formerly with the Islanders, but Matthews last week sustained a shoulder injury that is expected to sideline him for another three weeks or so.Matthews has a team-best 10 goals and is tied for the Maple Leafs’ lead with 16 points. The team is 0-2 with a total of two goals without Matthews.“What I find with most injuries is it takes your team a little bit to figure out how we’re going to go again,” Toronto coach Mike Babcock said. “It takes the coach a little bit to figure (it) out. To have success http://www.officialcanucks.com/authentic-adidas-brock-boeser-jersey , you’ve got to trust all your guys. Even though your depth gets hurt a little bit, you’ve got to play with depth.“We’ve got to find ways to win games. Just stay with the process and keep doing good things, and good things will happen to you. Let’s get to work. We play a good Pittsburgh team we’re excited to play.”Tavares has seven goals and 14 points, but has just one point, an assist, since Matthews got hurt.“I know I’m counted on to produce. It’s part of the game and supposed to be one of my strengths,” Tavares said. “I wouldn’t say I put any more pressure myself on than I do normally to play at a high level and play at it consistently.”The Penguins beat the Maple Leafs 3-0 in Toronto Oct. 18, a game that launched a 4-0 road trip through Canada. Since then, Pittsburgh went 0-1-1 in a home-and-home series against the New York Islanders.“We think everybody’s contributing at this point,” Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. “We just have to get better with each game.” SAN JOSE Christopher Tanev Jersey , Calif. (AP) The job of a fourth line is usually to provide energy, give some rest to the top players and occasionally chip in with a goal.San Jose’s group of Eric Fehr, Barclay Goodrow and Jannik Hansen did a lot more than that.Hansen scored his first goal of the season and Fehr and Goodrow also scored for a fourth-line hat trick that helped the Sharks win their season-high fifth straight game, 6-2 over the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night.”It’s probably been a while since that happened,” Fehr said of all three fourth-liners scoring in a game. ”It’s nice to contribute. Obviously everybody has been going for a while now. To be able to chip in offensively and defensively gives the guys a little bit of a break. It’s always nice for us.”Logan Couture added his 30th goal of the season, and Joe Pavelski and Mikkel Boedker also scored to give the Sharks a four-point lead over third-place Los Angeles in the Pacific Division with one game in hand.Brent Burns added three assists and Martin Jones made 26 saves.The scoring barrage by San Jose spoiled Cory Schneider’s return to net for the Devils. Schneider allowed four goals on 14 shots before getting pulled for Keith Kinkaid midway through the second period of his first start since March 8. Schneider has lost 11 starts in a row since his last win for the Devils on Dec. 27.”To me it’s not on the goaltender or either goaltender that was in,” coach John Hynes said. ”Our team has to be better in lots of aspects of it.”Taylor Hall scored his 32nd goal of the season and Blake Coleman also scored for the Devils, who lead Florida by just one point in the race for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. The Panthers have two games in hand.After Hansen and Fehr scored in the first period, Goodrow chipped one in midway through the second period on a surprising night of scoring from the fourth line when he beat Schneider on a 2-on-1.”We were talking about that after the first,” Goodrow said. ”It would be nice to complete the hat trick for the line. Definitely felt good to score that one.”Couture then scored 40 seconds later on San Jose’s first shot against Kinkaid for his third career 30-goal season. Boedker added San Jose’s second power-play goal of the night late in the second and the rout was on.The Sharks got off to a fast start in their first game back from a 3-0 Canadian road trip Authentic Daniel Sedin Jersey , scoring three goals in the first period and killing 1:20 of a two-man advantage for New Jersey.”We didn’t get off to a great start and then we got behind the eight ball and never recovered from it,” Hynes said.The teams traded goals to start with Fehr beating Schneider over the shoulder from a bad angle and Hall answering when he stole a bouncing puck from Justin Braun and beat Jones with a quick shot.San Jose then scored twice in a span of less than three minutes to take the lead. Pavelski tipped in a shot from Kevin Labanc on the power play to give the Sharks the lead.Then after Jones denied Damon Severson from in close at one end, Dylan DeMelo sent a long pass that Hansen chased down and then beat Schneider on a breakaway for his first goal since March 30, 2017.”It’s always nice to see a guy who hasn’t put one in in a while finally get rewarded,” Couture said. ”He comes into the lineup and he works hard. He doesn’t play every game. It’s not an easy thing to do.”NOTES: DeMelo has 10 assists this month. … San Jose D Brenden Dillon has a five-game point streak. … Devils F Miles Wood (upper body) was scratched and Jesper Bratt played in his place.UP NEXTDevils: Visit Pittsburgh on Friday.Sharks: Host Vegas on Thursday.—
