Malkin ejected for head slash as Penguins fall to Sabres
Evgeni Malkin was ejected from the Penguins' 5-1 loss to the Sabres after slashing Rasmus Dahlin in the head, earning a five-minute major and a game misconduct. Both players drew cross-checking minors in the incident; the sequence came as Pittsburgh, already without Sidney Crosby, fights for a playoff spot and could draw a Department of Player Safety review. Malkin, a 39-year-old veteran with a history of discipline issues, is also entering free agency this summer.
