Malkin Hit with 5-Game Ban, $159K Paycheck Sting
Pittsburgh's fiery Russian star Evgeni Malkin slashes Buffalo's Rasmus Dahlin in the head during a heated second-period scrum, earning a game misconduct and triggering the NHL's Department of Player Safety review under George Parros. The five-game suspension without pay docks him $158,854 from his $6 million salary, a hit that stings even for a veteran like Geno who's been lighting it up with 13 goals in 45 games.
