Malkin reached that mark in 1032 games, Crosby needed 927 games, Ovechkin 1072, Kane 1130.
– I have a very good relationship with Evgeni Malkin, he is a great professional in his field. I remember his national team games, especially at the World Cup in 2012. Then the Swedes put together a very strong team for the home tournament with many NHL players. We lost to them 1:3, then we won 7:3, then Malkin had a hat trick.
We then won the world championship title thanks to Malkin, by the way. After all, he scored three goals against the Finns. A wonderful hockey player, God bless him, so that injuries no longer haunt him.
Malkin, on the other hand, has set himself the task of scoring 1,500 points in his career – and he can do it. He is a technical player, very equipped. Mobile, nomadic, has spent all the years in the same club and already knows its partners. It all depends on his physical condition, his attitude. Therefore, I wish him success, ”reports the correspondent of , the words of Tretyak.
