Kennedy performed with Malkin at Pittsburgh from 2007 to 2013.
“When a newcomer appeared on the team, Malkin immediately grabbed his club and trained with it. And he looked just fine! Then, already in the game, he again began to play with his familiar club. Everyone asked him: “Zhenya, what are you doing?” And he replied: “How great it is to play with your great club after playing one,” Kennedy told Sportsnet in an interview.
Malkin scored 74 points in the 2019/20 season (25 goals and 49 assists) in 55 matches of the regular season.
