Before “Pittsburgh Penguins” Evgeny Malkin reacted to the fact that he was in second place on the list of NHL snipers among Russians.
Malkin scored a double Wednesday during the regular season game against the New York Islanders (7-0). For the 37-year-old Russian, these are the 483rd and 484th goals in the NHL. According to this indicator, Malkin was ahead of Sergei Fedorov (483) and took second place in the number of championship goals among Russian hockey players.
“It’s still better to be first,” Malkin told correspondent Pavel Lysenkov.
Washington Capitals forward Alexander Ovechkin tops the list with 828 goals.
Malkin made his NHL debut in October 2006 and won the Stanley Cup three times with the Penguins.
