More Milestones Set At The Pens/Flyers Game!
Needs no caption
The Penguins made sure the last game of the season was a memorable one!
Evgeni Malkin, the presumed Art Ross winner, recorded his 50th goal in the win against the Philadelphia Flyers. It’s the first time Malkin has reached this milestone in his career. He becomes just the 9th player in Penguins history to do so, as well as only the 6th Russian born player in NHL history to do so. He’s only played 75 out of a possible 82 games this season. Remarkable, considering his injuries and rehab last year.
Jordan Staal, who himself played only 61 games this season, hit 50 points with two assists in today’s game. It beats Staal’s previous best of 48 points.
Believe it or not, this is the first time the Penguins have beat the Flyers in the Consol Energy Center since it opened in 2010. Good omen for the playoffs?
Congratulations on an incredible season, Penguins! And good luck in the playoffs. LET’S GO PENS!
