Evgeni Malkin rocks 'Hanson Brothers' glasses in Hockeyville exhibition

Photo of Evgeni Malkin tweeted out by NBC Sports

The Pittsburgh Penguins and Tampa Bay Lighting are going full “Slap Shot” mode for their exhibition game in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.

This is because that hockey classic movie was filmed in Johnstown, which was named “Hockeyville” as part of a Kraft promotion for this contest. The game is being played at the Cambria County War Memorial, where many iconic scenes of "Slap Shot" took place.

Star Pens center Evgeni Malkin rocked his finest Hanson Brothers look for warmups with giant glasses.

Take a look at Malkin skating around with the hilarious accessory.

He’s not the only one who played the part. Here’s a photo of Malkin with Patric Hornqvist and Sergei Plotnikov with the Hanson Brothers wearing Charlestown Chiefs uniforms.

And look at NBC's Doc Emrick as Chiefs announcer Jim Carr.

No word yet on if Malkin is wearing any foil under his gloves.
