Evgeni Malkin becomes the 48th player in NHL history to score 500 career goals - and just the 20th to do so with a single team.
This awesome goal came Wednesday night against the Buffalo Sabres, at the just the right moment as the two teams were tired with three goals a piece during the third period.
Evgeni Malkin never quit on the play and managed to get the best of Ukka-Pelle Luukkonen with his rebound while falling on the ice, making this moment just that much more impressive.
However, it wouldn't be a milestone if Penguins captain Sidney Crosby wasn't involved in some way, as Crosby plays a big part on Malkin's 500th career goal. Just like Evgeni Malkin factored in on Sidney Crosby's 500th career goal.
Along with that, it was also a milestone night for Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby as he managed to get his 1600th career point, earlier in the game off an assist.
Truly a spectacular night for the two veterans!
