## Resource

Evgeni Malkin is back for another season with the Pittsburgh Penguins, signing a one-year, $5.5M deal that keeps him in Pittsburgh through 2027. At 39, the Russian legend — drafted second overall in 2004 — remains a franchise cornerstone, ranking among the NHL’s all-time leaders in games played, goals, assists, and points. A three-time Cup champ, he’s one of just 40 players to hit 100 points three or more times and has averaged a point per game or better in 16 of his 20 NHL seasons. Last year, he led the team in points per game with 61 in 56 games — outpacing even Sidney Crosby. With Malkin still going strong, the Penguins are leaning on their veteran core as they look to build on his legendary legacy. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
