TAMPA -- Evgeni Malkin scored two goals, including the game-winner late in the third period, and had an assist to lead the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 4-3 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning at Benchmark International Arena on Thursday.

Malkin broke the 3-3 tie at 17:17 of the third with a one-timer from the low slot off a feed from Thomas Novak.

It appeared Nikita Kucherov of Tampa Bay had tied the 4-4 game with 55 seconds left in the third period with a one-timer from the right circle, but video review initiated by the NHL Situation Room determined that Brandon Hagel made a hand pass to start the scoring sequence.

Ville Koivunen and Ben Kindel scored for the Penguins (14-7-5), who are 4-1-1 in their past six games. Tristan Jarry made 37 saves.
