Evgeni Malkin is a special player and he just hit a special milestone with his 1,000th NHL career point tonight against the Washington Capitals.
Malkin accomplished this feat in 848 career games. That puts him getting to 1,000 points squarely in between his two most compared contemporaries - teammate Sidney Crosby got to 1k in 757 games, while countryman and fellow 2004 draftee Alex Ovechkin scored his career 1,000th point in 880 career games.
Fittingly enough, Geno did it in front of both of them in the Penguins/Capitals game.
