Malkin moves up - 02-28-12
Evgeni Malkin recorded his ninth career hat trick Saturday against the Lightning.
Considering the level of his play this season, Malkin has a shot at recording the second most hat tricks in franchise history before the playoffs start.
Suffice it to say, No. 1 won't be challenged for a while, if ever.
