Crosby, Malkin score as the Penguins shut out the Predators 4-0 in Stockholm | Sports

STOCKHOLM – Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin scored a little over two minutes apart in the first period to help the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Nashville Predators 4-0 Sunday to split their NHL’s Global Series in Sweden’s capital.

The Penguins bounced back from a 2-1 loss to the Predators in the opener of the two-game series on Friday and snapped a three-game skid. Rookie goaltender Sergei Murashov stopped 21 shots for his first victory in his second NHL start.
