On a night when the Penguins desperately needed a win, Evgeni Malkin and Jordan Staal provided the spark they have been looking for.

With the game tied at one in the second period, Malkin fired home his 17th goal of the season for his league leading 66th point. For Malkin, he now has six points in his last four games, including goals in back to back games.

Later in the period, Staal picked up his 14th goal when he held off the Flyers defense and roofed a backhand to give the Pens a 3-1 lead. Staal now has goals in three straight games.

It doesn't get any easier for Pittsburgh though, as they will be hosting the Southeast Division leading Washington Capitals on Wednesday night.
