'Beast mode' Malkin helps Penguins down Maple Leafs 4-2 in Hall of Fame game

TORONTO — Evgeni Malkin went off early before his Penguins locked it down late.

The Maple Leafs, meanwhile, had no answer — and no choice other than to quickly turn the page.

Malkin had a goal and an assist to set the stage for Brock McGinn's winner less than two minutes into the third period Friday as Pittsburgh beat Toronto 4-2.

Jason Zucker and Jake Guentzel, into an empty net, provided the rest of the offence for the Penguins (6-6-2).

Casey DeSmith made 28 stops for Pittsburgh, which won its second straight following a seven-game slide.
