Penguins star appears to issue playoff guarantee.

The Pittsburgh Penguins found themselves in very unfamiliar territory after Game 5 against the Tampa Bay Lightning, losing two in a row for the first time dating all the way back to January in the regular season. With that in mind it's understandably that the fan base would feel some concern heading in to Game 6, down a game in the series and facing elimination.

It doesn't sound like it should be much of a concern if you're listening to Penguins star Evgeni Malkin, who practically guaranteed the Penguins would win in Game 6 and bring the series back to Pittsburgh.

"I believe in my team, I believe in myself. We're coming back to Pittsburgh for sure. said Malkin as per Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.

He didn't actually use the "G" word, but there can be little doubt as to what his meaning was. It will be a big proclamation to live up to fore Malkin who has been relatively invisible in the playoffs, and Penguins fans would more than welcome Malkin finding his game once again.
