Malkin comes up big as Penguins take Game 1

PITTSBURGH - After finishing second in regular-season scoring with 106 points, Evgeni Malkin was nominated for the league's most valuable player award.

Based on his performance in the opening game of the Eastern Conference final, the Pittsburgh Penguins forward might also be in the running for the Conn Smythe Trophy.

Malkin scored twice and added an assist as the Penguins defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 4-2 at Mellon Arena on Friday night. Game 2 of the best-of-seven series is Sunday night in Pittsburgh.
