    It’s the first time the 38-year-old Malkin has missed a game since the 2021-22 season, a streak of 209 games, which was the 12th-longest in team history.

    Malkin, who scored his 500th goal and 1,300th NHL point earlier this season and has eight goals and 32 points in 41 games played, was missed. Kent Johnson and Kirill Marchenko scored in the shootout as the Blue Jackets won for the third time in four games.
