• Penguins' Evgeni Malkin: Draws power-play helper

  3H ago • By RotoWire

  Malkin recorded a power-play assist, two hits, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Jets. Malkin has been in a bit of a rut with just two helpers over his last six contests. This was his first power-play point since Nov. 5. The 38-year-old center now has 20 points (five goals, 15 assists), 48 shots on net, 18 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating through 22 appearances, though he's offset some of his struggles with seven multi-point performances.

• Penguins' Evgeni Malkin: Pair of points in win

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Malkin scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-2 win over the Capitals. Malkin notched his seventh multi-point effort of the campaign in this contest. He set up an Erik Karlsson goal in the first period before scoring the game-winner himself in the third. While it's good to see Malkin be explosive on offense at times, he's also been held off the scoresheet in nine games. The 38-year-old center has five goals, 13 helpers, 37 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 16 appearances this season. He's a high-risk, high-reward fantasy option until he can get to more steady scoring production.

  Malkin delivered a power-play marker and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Islanders. Malkin was credited with the primary helper on Sidney Crosby's second-period tally before the former potted his first goal on the man advantage this season. Malkin's 22:12 of ice time led all of Pittsburgh's forwards, and the hulking left-shot center spearheads the Penguins' attack with 16 points over 14 games. Overall, Malkin has collected four goals, 12 assists, five power-play points, 30 shots, five hits, 11 blocks and three takeaways while shooting at a 13.3 percent clip.

• Penguins' Evgeni Malkin: Stands out in loss

  27D 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 has two goals and nine assists across six appearances so far in 2024-25.
