Malakhov, a 6'5 offensive defenseman, is an exceptionally well-rounded player. He will hit big, score big goals and occasionally drop the gloves. Malakhov has been known to be injury-prone, although he played a full year in 2001/02. Malakhov recorded his career high 57 points in his sophomore season with the Islanders in 1993/94.
