Penguins announce plans to honor Evgeni Malkin for playing in 1,000 NHL games

Evgeni Malkin is now a member of the 1,000 Games Club in the NHL — and the Penguins will honor him for his achievement before tomorrow’s game against the Flames.

On Sunday in Chicago, Malkin reached the 1,000 game threshold in a win over the Blackhawks.
