Recently surpassing the 1000 games played mark, Evgeni Malkin as enjoyed a prosperous National Hockey League career that has spanned 17 seasons thus far, all with the Pittsburgh Penguins, and has won a trio of Stanley Cup’s. Hailing from Malkin’s sophomore campaign we offer this stick used by the Russian superstar during the 2007-08 pre-season. A Nike Bauer ONE90 model with “Gino” factory graphics over the upper shaft, Evgeni’s original tape job of black over the handle/knob and white over the blade is still present as are the original factory production and serial number stickers that are affixed to the underside of the shaft. Additionally, Malkin has signed the backhand side of the black with a large black ink signature that displays without issue. Sporting good game-use, the stick shows numerous tears to the blade tape as well as multiple marks/abrasions over the shaft, lower shaft and heel.
Of note, we state the stick is from the pre-season because of the fact that white tape is seen on the blade, something Malkin didn’t do during the 2007-08 regular season but did use during his rookie campaign of 2006-07 as well as the next year’s pre-season. Switching to this model of stick for the 2007-08 regular season as well would place this based on model and tape job as a late pre-season offering.
