Malkin delivered two assists in a 6-3 victory over the Red Wings on Thursday.
Malkin now has 800 career assists and is within 31 of moving past Henrik Sedin into the fourth-most for players born outside North America. Overall, Geno sits 34th in assists and 37th in points in NHL history. At 38, Malkin is on the downside of his career, but he's coming off a 67-point season and should be able to mirror that - or close to it - this season.
