The victory was extra special for veterans Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby, who set new career milestones.<\/p><p>Malkin stole the show in the third period, scoring his 500th career NHL goal at the 3:26 mark. He hit the milestone on a backhanded rebound off his own shot to swat the puck past Buffalo goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen. The PPG Paints Arena erupted in a standing ovation as the entire Penguins squad mobbed him behind the net.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Evgeni Malkin's 500th goal and the entire team comes out to celebrate , 4-3 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/sabrehood?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#sabrehood<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/LetsGoPens?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#LetsGoPens<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rvPz24PJCh\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/rvPz24PJCh<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Buffalo Hockey Moments (@SabresPlays) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SabresPlays\/status\/1846721662105887019?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>October 17, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sidney Crosby enters the NHL&rsquo;s 1600-point club<\/h2><p>However, Malkin&rsquo;s historic goal wasn&rsquo;t the only milestone of the night.

It was there that Crosby delivered the game-winner on a power-play pass to Malkin, who secured two crucial points for the Penguins. <\/p><p>Malkin opened up on the historic milestone after the game. <em>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s not easy,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a long way to score 500, but I&rsquo;m glad to do it tonight.
