I think Saturday's game against the Kings was great, and definetly one of Jokinen's better games this season. It may possibly even be his best. Evegini Malkin also played a good first period scoring in 0.57 seconds. I think Jokinen really deserved to be named game star and made his mum proud on the first game of the first mum's trip.
Malkin opened the scoring in under a minute with an assist by Jussi Jokinen and James Neal. The kings equalized just under 9 minutes later with a slapshot by Anze Kopitar. Kunitz scored a slapshot assisted by Jokinen and Crosby on the power play, Jokinen then got a goal himself assisted by Malkin and Niskanen again on the power play. At the end of the first period the score was 3-1 for Pittsburgh. I the second period Tanner Glass scored a backhand assisted by Matt Niskanen and Olli Matta. Period three ended with no goals and a 4-1 victory for the Penguins.
