• Penguins' Evgeni Malkin: Stands out in loss

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Malkin scored a goal on two shots, added two assists, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks. Malkin nearly hurt himself on his goal, as his momentum carried him into the post and boards after he blew past the Canucks' defense. The 38-year-old has been a boom-or-bust player so far, with five multi-point efforts and five scoreless outings over 10 games. Even with streaky scoring, he has three goals, 14 points, 18 shots on net, eight blocked shots and a minus-3 rating this season. Malkin is locked in as the No. 2 center, and he's been one of few bright spots for the Penguins early in the campaign.

  Malkin didn't record a point nor attempted a shot in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes. Malkin was coming off a four-point effort in the win over the Sabres on Tuesday and had recorded four straight outings with two or more points, but the streak came to an end abruptly Friday in a game where the Penguins looked overmatched. Malkin has two goals and nine assists across six appearances so far in 2024-25.

  Malkin scored a goal and added three assists, two on the power play, in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Sabres. With his tally early in the third period, Malkin became the 48th player in NHL history to score 500 career goals, and just the second Russian after Alex Ovechkin. Malkin's had a blistering start to the season, reeling off four straight multi-point performances and piling up two goals and 11 points during that stretch. The 38-year-old managed only 67 points in 82 games in 2023-24, the lowest full-season total of his career, but Malkin might still have at least one more big campaign left in him.
