PITTSBURGH — You might have heard Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby had a great day Sunday against the Detroit Red Wings. Malkin scored a hat trick and finished with four points. Crosby had a goal and two assists. The Penguins crushed Detroit, 11-2, a pretty nice tune-up for their rematch against the New York Rangers on Tuesday night at PPG Paints Arena.
Maybe you didn't hear what Toronto's Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner did later Sunday night in a 5-2 win against the Florida Panthers. Matthews scored his NHL-best 48th goal. Marner had three assists to become the fastest player in Maple Leafs history to get to 300 career assists.
And maybe you didn't hear what Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid did for Edmonton against Calgary the night before. Draisaitl had a hat trick and a four-point game. McDavid added two assists. The Oilers still lost, 9-5.
