Philly needs to continue to pressure Malkin, and play physical on him. I know he has grown as a player and has a better team around him now, but every time I had thought of this series before it started I thought Philly would play Malkin like Team Canada did back in the World Juniors a couple of years ago. Where both he and Ovechkin (who did get injured) got completely shut down and disappeared. It seemed they started to do that at the end of the second period there, and it shows as Malkin started to shy away from any contact.
