Evgeni Malkin has played nearly 1,000 regular-season games and another 177 in the playoffs while establishing himself as one of the most prolific players in recent history.
Three Stanley Cups, two scoring titles, a most valuable player award and better than 500 goals and 1,300 points (playoffs included) are ample evidence of his NHL prowess.
He's spent every moment of his 16-season career with the Pittsburgh Penguins, and the relationship he's developed with Sidney Crosby is akin to an icy Batman and Robin.
But all good things come to an end.
