Geno's Giving Heart



Last month, the Penguins' Evgeni Malkin urged people to not forget the plane crash that decimated the KHL's Lokomotiv Yaroslavl team. Tonight, he and Capitals star Alexander Ovechkin teamed up for a fundraiser to help the families of those killed in the crash. Michelle Crechiolo of NHL.com/Penguins wrote a nice story outlining the fundraising project spearheaded by Geno and supported by his teammates and the Caps, who the Pens are facing tonight.


Here's the link to Michelle's story:
