PITTBURGH — Evgeni Malkin got the winner as the Penguins beat the Calgary Flames, 2-1, in a shootout Wednesday, in the annual Thanksgiving Eve game at PPG Paints Arena. That extended Pittsburgh’s winning streak to a season-high four games.
Malkin celebrated his goal by gently tossing his stick into the roaring crowd.
Flames second-string goalie Dan Vladar, who was making his first start in 13 days, was stellar with 37 saves during regulation to send the game into overtime.
