Minnesota Wild general manager Bill Guerin is reportedly interested in acquiring 40-year-old Pittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin, according to a Yahoo Sports report published November 6, 2026. The report, written by Jim Parsons for Heavy, suggests the Wild are exploring a trade for the veteran Russian forward.
Malkin, a three-time Stanley Cup champion and former Hart Trophy winner, appeared in the Penguins' 6-2 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena on October 17, 2026. The 40-year-old center has spent his entire 19-season NHL career with Pittsburgh.
No details on potential trade compensation or Malkin's willingness to waive his no-movement clause were disclosed in the initial report.
