Attack Pittsburgh Penguins Yevgeny Malkin hopes his 500th NHL regular season goal will be magnificent and among the best.
Malkin has been playing in the NHL since 2006. In 1,145 games, the 37-year-old Russian has scored 498 goals and provided 798 assists.
— Next season you will be able to score your 500th goal in the NHL championships. Is that a motivation for you?
— Yes, I would like to enter the elite “500 club”. I only have two goals left. To be honest, I really wanted to give them up last season. The end is not bad, just a little short. But I promise that in the new championship I will close this number. I think it is a good anniversary. But we will move on. Everything is going as it should. We have a great team. I try to play my best.
Of course, I have had enough injuries. I have missed a lot of matches in my career. But 500 goals is a big milestone. I hope I will score a nice goal and it will come into play. I will prepare in the summer, and the main thing is to start the season well,” the correspondent reports, according to Malkin’s words.
