Evgeni Malkin got his bell rung last night!

[Salo]

Welcome to the show young man, have you met Brendan Witt?

Evgeni Malkin was doing his part against the Islanders, playing strong in both ends and leading the game with eight shots. He scored from the left circle at 12:46 of the third period to spoil goaltender Rick DiPietro's shot at an eighth career shutout and pull the Penguins within 3-1.
About 21/2 minutes later, Malkin was entering the Islanders' end when New York defenseman Brendan Witt -- an inch shorter but nearly 30 pounds heavier than Malkin -- leveled the Penguins' center at the blue line with a shoulder-on-shoulder hit.
Malkin remained on all fours briefly, then skated directly to the Penguins' runway and did not return. Although he got hit on the same left shoulder that was dislocated during the preseason, causing him to miss the first four games of the regular season, coach Michel Therrien said there was no injury and Malkin is expected to play tonight against the New York Rangers.
"It was a good, fair hit and he caught his head down at the blue line," Therrien said. "He hit him pretty solid. It's not the left shoulder at all."
In his first interview in English, one lasting all of three seconds, Malkin was asked if he was OK and responded, "Yeah."
"He didn't see me coming," Witt said. "I put my shoulder into it, and that was it." - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
