Way back in September, I wrote about five players that would be interesting to track this season. While the end result of the season for the Penguins remains very much in the balance, after 80 games we know enough to audit how it went for those individuals this year.
Evgeni Malkin
Now at age-36, Malkin got a contract and had the full ability to rest and train this summer — not focus on surgery and then rehabbing his knee like last summer.
Will it pay off for Malkin?
