The Pittsburgh Penguins trail the defending champion Detroit Red Wings 2-1 going into Game 4 tonight.

The Pens are not acting at all like they did when they were down a game in this same situation last year, against the same opponent. And it's certainly not because Red Wings star Pavel Datsyuk, who is capable of winning a game at both ends of the ice, expects to play after sitting out six games with a foot injury.

Evgeni Malkin's upgraded play is one of the reasons the Penguins are optimistic they can pull off a comeback after losing the first two games on the road, despite the fact only one of 32 teams has previously overcome such a deficit in the finals.

Malkin has 33 points, the most in the NHL playoffs since Joe Sakic had 34 for Colorado in 1996. Get your NHL finals odds in the Bodog Sportsbook.
