Malkin, has 41 points in 49 games this season, on pace for 70. Not bad numbers for the 37 year old, but it is important to look at his overall play and not just plain stats. It is clear Malkin took a step back this season, which is understandable as the game keeps involving and Malkin never had that quickness in his feet in the first place.
