The placement of Malkin is always interesting and bound to stir up debate and opinions. Overall, with the goals and the points that the match of star centers (who are almost a decade younger than Crosby) put up, it’s tough to get too out of shape about placing him fifth now at age 35. The German Oiler star took way more faceoffs than Connor McDavid at even strength, on the power play and short handed last season to boost his credentials as a center, which ends that talking point about his positioning. In the past a common question has been over the classification of Draisaitl as a center, but that doesn’t seem to be the case any longer. Crosby finished fifth to the same four above him via the fan rankings, and Malkin finished 17th. The rankings are in-line with the input of hockey fans from the internet surveyed by Jfresh. “The way he influences it offensively, defensively, leadership, all the things. “There’s some players that I have a certain statistical category (for): how you influence a game through 82 games, and there might not be many better than Sidney Crosby still at this point,” Rupp said. The 35-year-old, who has won the Stanley Cup three times (2009, 2016, 2017), is second among active skaters in goals (517) and points (1,409), and first in assists (892). Crosby also led Pittsburgh in power-play points (30), game-winning goals (nine), face-off wins (760) and face-off attempts (1,450) while averaging 19:58 of ice time per game. It was the 10th time he’s scored at least 30 goals and the 11th time he’s had at least 84 points. “…I think he’s going to be super motivated this season in Pittsburgh and you might see him even higher on this list next year.”Īnd then on Crosby, who ranked fifth behind Connor McDavid, Auston Matthews, Nathan MacKinnon and Leon Draisaitl:Ĭrosby tied for the Penguins lead with 84 points (31 goals, 53 assists) in 69 games last season. “‘Gino’ is one of the all-time greats in this game,” NHL Network Analyst Mike Rupp said. Malkin, a three-time Stanley Cup champion with the Penguins (2009, 2016, 2017), is fourth among active players in goals (444) and points (1,146), and tied for fourth in assists (702). Knee surgery caused Malkin to miss the first three months of last season, but the 36-year-old still finished with 42 points (20 goals, 22 assists) in 41 games, the 14th time in 16 seasons he has averaged at least a point per game. Here’s some of the dirt on the two Penguin stars. What do you think of this list? #NHLTopPlayers /Tin4NjYNnh- NHL Network August 14, 2022
