Evgeni Malkin is leading the league in scoring at 38

Every player goes on heaters.. so i wanna hear from pens fans how does he actually look? I heard he lost a step last season, so just wondering.

His start has been awesome, but the take would be (1) small sample size, and (2) massive early season disparity in GP. The league's teams have played from 2-6 games so far. The Pens are at the upper end, with 5. So in some cases, a team has played three times as many games as another.

The rejoinder is that it's too early for takes, but his start is encouraging, to be sure. Malkin can blow hot and cold; when he gathers up steam, he's impossible to contain and he's started on fire.

Geno has had a lot of injuries the last few years and it looks like this is the first time he's finally healed from them all properly and just looks healthy again. He's definitely not getting much help from Bunting or Rakell at all either, it's just Geno being Geno right now and he's still an elite beast.

He looks like he's fully recovered from his knee surgery, as in gaining his full strength back, skating wise he looks perfectly fine, he's also his usual physical self and hard to contain in all 3 zones.

Also, are you lot seriously acting like Malkin, an elite talent in his career in this league, is somehow just some player that has heaters? Lol. I get blokes here want to keep disrespecting Geno but seriously, that's a dumb take.

Bunting has 1 assist and Rakell has 3 goals and 0 assists in the season so far, so Malkin is quite literally a one man army right now. 7 of his 11 points are at ES.

We are already at the hot take based on small sample size part of the season eh? My favorite.
