In training camp you expect star players to shine, especially today’s action where Evgeni Malkin’s camp team plays the mostly younger “Team C” that doesn’t have a lot of NHL talent.
And that’s exactly what happened, with perhaps the most important thread going forward being the burgeoning chemistry being built between Malkin and newcomer Alex Galchenyuk.
