Athletistic / Hockey. In the early morning of January 23 (Moscow time) in Tempe (Arizona, USA), an NHL regular season match took place between the Arizona Coyotes and the Pittsburgh Penguins. The match ended with a victory for the home team with a score of 5:2.
Arizona’s fourth goal will be one of the most curious goals of the current NHL season. The Penguins got the majority and replaced the goalie with a sixth outfield player, but Russian forward Evgeni Malkin, who was near his team’s empty goal, failed to receive a pass from defenseman Kris Letang , after which she deflected her stick into the goal.
Interestingly, in this match, Evgeni Malkin also had a positive impact, becoming the author of an assist.
This season, in 44 matches, Malkin has scored 38 (15+23) points using the goal+pass system.
