What are we going to do without Phil Kessel and Evgeni Malkin for a few months?
The Pittsburgh Penguins' odd couple was at it again Sunday, with Malkin accidentally catching Kessel with a left on the bench after Carl Hagelin scored an empty-net goal in Game 6, which sealed the club's second straight Stanley Cup championship.
Malkin led the Pens and the NHL in scoring during the playoffs with 28 points, while Kessel finished third on the club and in the league with 23.
