Lapierre doubled Pittsburgh’s lead at the game’s halfway point after taking a pretty feed on the rush from Ville Koivunen and Malkin’s third goal in four games was more than enough for Silovs, who was only sporadically challenged while picking up his second shutout of the season and fourth of his career.
