That Penguins center Evgeni Malkin, who got at least one point in 15 consecutive games before being shut out Saturday, would own the longest scoring streak ever by a Russian player in the NHL isn't a major surprise.
The identity of the guy who set that standard before Malkin is.
It was not one of the many spectacular talents from that country -- not Pavel Bure or Alex Kovalev or Igor Larionov or Alex Ovechkin -- but the utterly forgettable Dmitri Kvartalnov, who played for Boston in 1992-93 and 1993-94.
Atta boy, Geno, let's start another one!
