COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Assuming they play in the Penguins' regular-season finale against the Blue Jackets here at Nationwide Arena Thursday night, Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin will do something that they've never accomplished in 17 historic seasons together.
At age 35 and 36, respectively, Crosby and Malkin will have both played in all 82 games of the same season for the first time ever.
It'll mark just the second time Crosby has played all 82 in his career and the third time Malkin has done so, speaking to just how incredible it is to do that at this stage their careers.
