Malkin's OT Goal Powers Penguins Past Flyers 5-4

In a thrilling comeback, the Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 5-4 in overtime on Thursday, with Evgeni Malkin scoring the game-winning goal just over a minute into the extra period. Malkin, who also recorded a tying goal and two assists, played a pivotal role in halting the Penguins' four-game losing streak. Pittsburgh, which trailed 3-0 early in the game, saw contributions from Erik Karlsson and Philip Tomasino, while Sidney Crosby added an assist. The victory marked a significant rebound for the Penguins, who have historically performed well against the Flyers at home, extending their streak to ten straight games with points against them. The Flyers ended their three-game win streak despite strong performances from Matvei Michkov, who scored two goals. Both teams are set to face new opponents on Saturday, with Pittsburgh hosting Boston and Philadelphia traveling to Winnipeg.
