Evgeni Malkin knocks Daniel Winnik out of the game with a big hit.

There's more than one way to get an advantage on your opponent in a playoff series.

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin is better known for his scoring prowess, but he has delivered some thunderous schecks during his National Hockey League career, and on Wednesday night he used his body to leave the Washington Capitals down a man.

Malkin delivered a big hit to Washington's Daniel Winnik, and while the initial contact from Malkin did appeared to hit Winnik's shoulder, there's no question Winnik's head ended up taking a hard hit from the follow-through.

Here's a look at the hit from a few different angles.
