40-year-old Malkin continues to surprise in the NHL season

On the night of October 10, the next match of the regular championship of the National Hockey League took place on the ice of the National Weided Arena in the American city of Columbus. The meeting between the local Columbus Blue Jackets and guests from the Pittsburgh Penguins ended with a victory for the hosts of the site with a score of 3: 2 following a series of post-match bullies. Veteran “Pittsburgh Penguins” Eugene Malkin scored the third goal in the current season of the NHL.

This puck was for the Russian striker 536th in the regular championships of the NHL and the third this season. This result allowed Evgeny Malkin to become even more firmly entrenched in the list of the best snipers in the history of the North American league, where he now occupies the sole 36th place.

It is worth emphasizing that the Russian hockey player managed to hit the opponent’s gates at the start of the third game segment.

In the ranks of the winners, goals were noted by Canadian defender Damon Siverson, Canadian striker Kent Johnson and American forward Matthew Olivier. Russian legionnaires of “Columbus” Dmitry Voronkov and Valery Nichushkin completed this match without scored points.

Recall that Evgeny Malkin defends the colors of the club “Pittsburgh Penguins” since 2006 and during this time three times became the owner of the main trophy of the league – the Stanley Cup.
