Evgeni Malkin Records 400th Goal

December 17th 2019
Evgeni Malkin returned to game action in the Penguins’ first game on their Western Canada road trip. Tristan Jarry got the call in net, and turned in another sterling performance, turning aside all but one of the 34 shots he faced. Bryan Rust continued his hot streak, earning his fourth goal in his last three games. Evgeni Malkin’s tally in the 3rd period was his 400th career NHL goal. He is the 7th Russian-born player to reach that milestone.
