Another night, another personal milestone for a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins.

This time it's Geno's turn.

With an assist on Ian Cole's goal in the second period, Evgeni Malkin became the fourth player to record 500 assists as a Penguin.

Now that's company you want to keep.

The point was Malkin's 59th in 50 games this season, good for fifth in NHL scoring.
