Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin Expected To Play
2 years agoPittsburgh Penguins forwards Sidney Crosby (illness) and Evgeni Malkin (illness) are expected to be in the lineup Tuesday versus Columbus. Both players skipped Monday's practice with an illness, and Crosby didn't appear in Tuesday's morning skate either, but head coach Mike Sullivan has said that he "anticipates" that they will play. The star duo has combined for 57 points this season, and Crosby is riding a five-game scoring streak ahead of the contest. Malkin recently went through a scoring drought, but he has hit his stride again with four points in two games and should definitely enjoy the matchup against the second-worst defense in the league.
