Key Points:
- Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin received a five-minute major penalty and a game misconduct for slashing Buffalo Sabres captain Rasmus Dahlin in the face during Thursday's game.
- Dahlin was assessed a two-minute minor penalty for cross-checking but returned to the game after serving his penalty.
- Malkin, 39, has been suspended twice in his 20-year career, including a four-game suspension in 2022 and a one-game suspension in 2019.
- Currently having a strong season with 47 points in 46 games, a potential suspension for Malkin would be a significant setback for the Penguins, who are already missing captain Sidney Crosby due to injury.
