Florida Panthers prospect Denis Malgin is certainly making some noise at this year’s rookie tournament.
After scoring twice and adding an assist Saturday against Nashville, the diminutive Swiss forward poured in three goals to lead the Panthers to a 5-2 over their counterparts from the Washington Capitals.
The Caps opened the scoring at 3:49 of the first period when Trevor Boyd got the puck past Colin Stevens.
Florida replied 24 seconds later on Kyle Rau’s rebound goal.
Malgin gave the Panthers the lead at the 11:58 mark, roofing the puck on Vitek Vanacek while on a 2-on-1 break.
