Have you seen the stats since January 1st? You should probably take a look.
Evgeni Malkin has 46 points in his last 27 games. 23 goals and 23 assists. He’s crushing it right now. Those 46 points are more than the leading scorers of the Montreal Canadiens and Arizona Coyotes (sorry, Tocc) have for ALL SEASON.
Sidney Crosby is t-3rd in points in 2018 but no one is even talking about him right now, and rightfully so because this stretch from Malkin is about the best hockey he has ever played.
