Watch: Malkin buries pair of one-timers in 700th career game

Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports

Pittsburgh Penguins pivot Evgeni Malkin became the seventh player in franchise history to hit 700 career games on Friday night, and the Russian star celebrated the milestone in style.

Midway through the second period of Pittsburgh's tilt with the Tampa Bay Lightning, Malkin finished off a slick cross-ice pass from Phil Kessel, wiring in a power-play goal from one knee to tie the game up.

The Penguins' duo connected on yet another one-timer tally later in the period, giving Malkin 28 goals on the year.

Quite an evening for "Mr. 101."
