Evgeni Malkin always says Pittsburgh is his second hometown. So, when he re-signed with the Penguins in the summer of 2022, he wanted to give back to the community.

RHMC provides families who travel for their children's medical care a place to call home. “It’s very important for me. I play here 19 years,” said Malkin, who will turn 39 this summer.

While the Penguins finished short of making the playoffs by a wider margin than they did in the previous two seasons, Kyle Dubas feels better now than he did previously. “Maybe we had less points than we had last year, but I feel like we're slightly better positioned as we move ahead because of the younger players here,” Pittsburgh’s President of Hockey Operations and GM said during his season-ending media availability on Monday (April 21).
