Evgeni Malkin scored the only regulation goal for Pittsburgh in a 2-1 shootout win over Carolina Tuesday.
Malkin has been exceptional this season while Sidney Crosby suffers from the effects of a concussion. With tonight's goal he ties Henrik Sedin for the NHL lead in points and given how well he has performed of late, Malkin stands a good chance of taking home the Art Ross Trophy at season's end if he can remain healthy.
