Evgeni Malkin scores a ridiculous goal

Evgeni Malkin has been heating up as of late. Ever since he has his post game rant, he has decided to get things done.

Tonight against the Edmonton Oilers, he scored an absolute beauty of a goal. It started with a steal and ended with a spin o rama backhand goal.

I think it is safe to say we have our highlight of the night. Malkin was hot on the pursuit of Oscar Klefbom. Once outside the blueline, he stole the puck from Klefbom and went in one on one against the other Oilers defenseman. That was when the magic happened. Malkin then decided to do a spin o rama and rip it top shelf backhand. Reading this doesn't really do it justice. Patrick Kane is known for these and Malkin just upped him.

With Crosby having a tough season, the Pens need Malkin and he has definitely picked up the slack.
