The fact that Evgeni Malkin scored a shootout goal last night was a bit surprising considering Malkin has been snakebit throughout his career in shootout and penalty shot situations. Prior to last night, he was 7 for 29 (24.1 %) in shootout chances.

What wasn't surprising is that the Penguins won in a shootout. Since it was implemented in the 2005-06 season, only two teams have won more games in the shootout than the Penguins:

I enjoy a shoot-out as much as anyone, but I'd prefer they just hold onto a two goal lead and win in regulation.
