Evgeni Malkin and Bryan Rust share a hilarious moment during media availability in Sweden

The NHL is once again taking their game global this week, with the Pittsburgh Penguins and Nashville Predators set to take each other on at the NHL Global Series in Sweden.

This is an amazing way for the NHL to continue growing the game in a very hockey-mad part of the world, but it's also a fantastic experience for players, especially those from Europe that get to take their game back there.

During the Penguins media availability, Evgeni Malkin was getting interviewed by the media, who had crowded around him to hear from the Penguins legend in what may be his last NHL game played in Europe.

There was only one person that had a problem with that however, and that was veteran Bryan Rust, who was trying to get to his stall after practice. Unfortunately, it just happened to be the stall that Malkin decided to do media in, leading to this fantastic moment captured by the Penguins PR team.

This is just another glimpse into the fun times that can be had in an NHL locker room, and when you have a relationship like these two do in what appears to be a very tight knit locker room in Pittsburgh, it leads to fun moments like this.

Winning doesn't hurt the vibe in a locker room either, and despite coming into this year as potential bottom feeders, the Penguins have shocked the NHL world to start the year, and if they can keep up their play following a 9-5-3 start, this type of fun could keep coming for this veteran group.
