Malkin scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Malkin scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Malkin notched a power-play assist, four shots on goal and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Malkin has a helper in four straight games, an improvement from earlier in the month when he had one assists over six games. The 37-year-old's assist Tuesday was his first power-play point since Jan. 8, though the Penguins have struggled with the man advantage. Malkin is up to 45 points (13 on the power play) with 148 shots on net, 48 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 56 appearances.

Malkin earned an assist in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
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 by any means, but there is still some gas left in the tank for the veteran forward.

Malkin tallied a goal and an assist in Monday's 4-1 victory over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Malkin set up Rickard Rakell's power-play tally 45 seconds into the first period before closing the scoring in the third, beating Carter Hart with a wrister to extend Pittsburgh's lead to 4-1. The goal was Malkin's first in five games, though he now has 11 points (five goals, six assists) in his last 10 contests. Overall, the 37-year-old winger is up to 15 goals and 35 points through 39 outings this season.

Malkin earned an assist against the Capitals on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Malkin has points in nine of his last 11 games, tallying four goals and seven assists over that span. During that stretch, four of the world-class center's points have come with the man advantage, as the Penguins appear to be finally figuring out their power play. Malkin is slightly off a point-per-game pace but could get to that level with a couple more multi-point efforts.

Malkin scored a goal and an assist in a 4-2 win over St. Louis on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
He now has three goals in his last two games, and he's up to 14 on the season. Malkin pushed the Pens up 2-1 on a power play in the second period. A shot from Jake Guentzel redirected in off his skate at the right post. Malkin is playing great hockey right now. He has 10 points (four goals, six assists) in his last nine games. Three of those points came on the power play, including the goal Saturday.

Malkin scored two goals in Wednesday's 7-0 rout of the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
He added five shots on net and a plus-2 rating to his ledger. It was Malkin's first multi-goal performance since Nov. 4, but the 37-year-old has been able to stay fairly productive, collecting three goals and nine points through 11 games in December. A lack of power-play production is holding him back, however -- that November contest against the Sharks was the last time Malkin scored a goal with the man advantage, and in 23 games since then he's managed only three power-play assists.

Malkin supplied a goal and an assist in Pittsburgh's 4-3 win over Minnesota on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Malkin's marker came at 3:34 of the second period to put the Penguins up 3-0. While Minnesota went on to tie the contest 3-3, Sidney Crosby scored the game-winning goal early in the third frame with Malkin contributing an assist. The 37-year-old has 11 goals and 26 points in 30 outings in 2023-24. Malkin has been held off the scoresheet just once over his last five contests, providing a goal and five points over that stretch.

Malkin recorded an assist versus the Lightning on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Malkin continues to produce at a high rate this season, registered two goals and one assist in his last seven contests while also putting 15 shots on net. The veteran center has racked up 20 points in 22 games to open the 2023-24 campaign and figures to remain near the point-per-game threshold.
