Thursday's game did not start off much better as they allowed the first three goals of the game. After the third goal, the Penguins made the decision to bench Alex Nedeljkovic, replacing him with rookie Joel Blomqvist. That did not sit well with the veteran Nedeljkovic.

Evgeni Malkin scored his second goal at 1:03 of overtime and the Pittsburgh Penguins rallied to beat the Philadelphia Flyers 5-4.

While it will be tough to do at the NHL Trade Deadline, it does not mean GM Kyle Dubas is not open to moving the defenseman. Pittsburgh may not recoup the assets they gave up for him, but Karlsson still has value, especially paired with the right player.

The Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Philadelphia Flyers 5-4 in overtime at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh on Thursday. The Penguins' Evgeni Malkin scored the tying goal in the third period and the game-winner in overtime.
