Former SKA player Maxim Rybin called the Pittsburgh Penguins forward a legend Evgenia Malkina .
In the NHL regular season match against Detroit (6:3), 38-year-old Malkin scored two assists, becoming the first Russian in the history of the league to reach the mark of 800 assists.
– Listen, anything is possible. Legend with a capital L. He has 800 assists and two more goals to reach 500 goals. Crazy numbers, the first with such indicators among Russians. Well done! God bless you that it did not fail, there is a contract, there is enough playing time, so everything is possible,” Rybin quotes Vprognoze.ru.
In NHL history, Malkin ranks 34th in assists. Pierre Turgeon (812) ranks 33rd, followed by Wayne Gretzky (1963).
