– We have to play the same way, no matter if we lead two goals or one. Do not wait, but try to win. Keep moving, keep playing the same game, keep tapping. In the last two games, we felt the pressure. We need points… At the start of the game, we waited too long and the opponent started to take the initiative.
If we play the same, fight for every inch, play hard, then we will win. We have a great team, I believe in each partner. If we keep playing in the same vein, I’m sure we’ll get into the playoffs,” the club’s press service quoted Malkin as saying.
After 56 games played, the Penguins sit ninth in the Eastern Conference with 63 points.
