Chasing records! Malkin close to NHL milestone
Yevgeny Malkin is just one goal short of the 500-goal mark in the National Hockey League (NHL).
The 38-year-old Russian scored for the 499th time in his NHL career in his Pittsburgh Penguins' 6-3 away win at the Montreal Canadiens on Monday. He also contributed two assists. 47 players in NHL history have scored 500 times or more in the world's most important ice hockey league.
In another statistic, Sidney Crosby is not far short of a new personal career milestone. The Penguins captain remained without a goal or assist on Monday, leaving him one point shy of reaching the 1,600-point mark in the NHL. Only nine players have reached this mark before him.
The New Jersey Devils won an early top-of-the-table game against the Utah Hockey Club 3-0. Both New Jersey and Utah had already won three times in the first week of the season.
