Yohe mailbag: Was Penguins' late-season surge a fluke? A look at Kyle Dubas' summer options, Sidney Crosby's next contract and Evgeni Malkin's all-time ranking.
Two points against isles Malkin scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Islanders.
Impact The 37-year-old center wrapped up a solid finish to the campaign that saw him deliver four multi-point performances in his final eight games. Malkin ends 2023-24 with 27 goals and 67 points through 82 games, and he's now played every game for Pittsburgh in each of the last two seasons -- an impressive feat all on its own, and the first time he's managed to do that since his age-21 and 22 seasons. Malkin still appears to have plenty left in the tank, and he has some milestones left to aim for, as he needs just two more goals for 500 in his career and four more points for 1,300.

Helps out on power play Malkin logged a power-play assist, two blocked shots, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Bruins.
Impact Malkin has racked up four goals and four assists over seven games in April, with just two of those points coming on the power play. The center is at 64 points (17 on the power play), 189 shots on net, 70 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 80 outings overall. Malkin won't come anywhere near his 83-point campaign from last season, but he's been steady as the second-line center while enjoying a second straight year of good health.

Three-point effort Saturday Malkin scored two goals and added an assist in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Lightning.
Impact After lighting the lamp twice in the second period, Malkin set up Michael Bunting's game-winner with a slick bit of stickwork, as he tipped an Erik Karlsson point shot across the front of the net, giving Michael Bunting a wide-open cage. Malkin has four multi-point performances in the last nine games, piling up six goals and 11 points over that stretch, and with Saturday's tallies he's recorded the 12th 25-goal campaign of his career.

Three points in win over New Jersey Malkin scored two even-strength goals and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Devils.
Impact All three points came in the third period, as the Penguins rallied from a 3-1 deficit. Malkin has two two-goal performances in the last four games, and he sits one point short of 60 on the season -- a mark he's reached 12 times in his career already. While he would need a massive finish to the 2023-24 campaign to get there, the 37-year-old now sits six goals away from becoming the 48th player in NHL history with 500 career goals.

Hits 20-goal mark for 15th time Malkin scored twice Thursday in a 3-2 win over Columbus.
Impact The goals were his first in seven games, and both snipes came on the power play. Malkin's first tied the game 1-1 in the second period when he wired a one-timer from the right face-off circle, beating Daniil Tarasov. Later in the same frame, Malkin tied the score 2-2 with his 21st of the season. He held the puck in the left circle and waited for an opening in traffic in front of the net before ripping a wrister with laser-like accuracy through the five-hole. Malkin has reached the 20-goal plateau 15 times in the NHL, which ties him with Patrick Kane for third most among active players. Alex Ovechkin (19) and Sidney Crosby (16) lead active players.

Two helpers in Dallas Malkin picked up two assists in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Stars.
Impact The 37-year-old may no longer be a point-a-game player, but Malkin can still contribute. Through 12 games in March, he's picked up three goals and eight points, and he needs one more tally to record the 15th 20-goal campaign of his career. Malkin is also 10 goals away from becoming the 48th player in NHL history with 500.

Two-point effort Tuesday Malkin scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
Impact Remarkably, it was the first multi-point performance since Jan. 8 for the future Hall of Famer. Malkin is beginning to show his age though, and since the beginning of February he's managed two goals and eight points over 14 games -- solid numbers for some, but well below the 37-year-old's career standards.

Prevents shutout Malkin scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Oilers.
Impact Malkin's goal came in the latter half of the third period, sparing the Penguins from the embarrassment of a shutout. The 37-year-old hadn't scored in 13 games, posting a meager six assists in that span. Malkin's not in danger of losing his second-line spot, but his offense hasn't been reliable. He's produced 17 goals, 46 points, 151 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 59 appearances.

Secures helper in loss Malkin earned an assist in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Wild.
Impact The future Hall of Famer has a point in six of his last seven games, but Pittsburgh is currently ranked 30th on the power play at 14.2 percent, which helps explain why Malkin hasn't marked the box score on the man advantage in over a month. Still, at 37 years old, Malkin finds himself with 16 goals, 25 assists and 12 power-play points through 48 games. These aren't earth-shattering numbers, but there still seems to be some gas left in the tank.
