Russian coach Fedor Kanareikin believes Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeny Malkin entered the start of the National Hockey League (NHL) regular season in excellent form.
After the victory over Calgary (5:2), in which Evgeni Malkin scored 2 points (1+1), he overtook Alexander Mogilny (473) in the list of the best Russian snipers in the history of the NHL. Sergei Fedorov (483) is in front. With 27 more goals, the Pittsburgh forward could become the second Russian to score 500 career goals in the NHL after Alexander Ovechkin (822).
— Malkin had a great start to the season, is in good shape and has healed from his injuries. That’s why it shows these results. He’s a great high-level player, one of the best in our history.
I follow everyone, I’m happy that the guys are showing a high level. For young people who appear. Pavel Dorofeev plays as a starter in Vegas. I’m Dmitry Voronkov, he’s now sent to the AHL. How quickly will he adapt to the new league? When will he be able to return to the main team? – Metaratings.ru quotes Kanareikin.
This season, 37-year-old Malkin played three games in the NHL and scored 6 (2+4) points.
