The Penguins are bringing back Evgeni Malkin for one more year.
Pittsburgh and its longtime forward agreed to a one-year extension, the team announced on Tuesday. The deal is worth $5.5 million with performance bonuses baked in to secure up to an additional $3.5 million. If Malkin plays in 42 games, he’ll receive a $250,000 performance bonus. An additional $250,000 can be unlocked after 63 games. If the Penguins reach the playoffs, he’d earn $1 million, and an additional $500,000 for each round the team wins in the postseason, according to PuckPedia.
