Jeff Carter scored his 400th NHL goal on October 14. Sidney Crosby tallied No. 500 on February 15.
Now, the stage is set for the third Penguins player to reach a historic career milestone this season: Evgeni Malkin needs just two more assists to become the sixth active player to accumulate 700 career helpers.
Trivia question: who did Malkin provide his first ever NHL assist for? Hint: the assist came on October 19, 2006, and the player in question played with the Penguins for the 2005-06 and 2006-07 seasons.
As per Pens PR: If Malkin tallies two assists over his next seven games, he will be the second-fastest active NHL player to reach the milestone.
