Evgeni Malkin Considered Day-To-Day
3 days agoPittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin (upper body) wore a non-contact jersey in Wednesday's practice and is considered day-to-day. The veteran star missed Tuesday's matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning due to an upper-body injury. It seems that Malkin may miss additional time because of the injury, but he isn't expected to be sidelined for long. Kevin Hayes took over as the second-line center on Tuesday. He also filled in for Malkin on the top power-play unit but had no offensive stats as the Penguins took a heavy 6-1 loss. For the season, Hayes has totaled 20 points (10 goals, 10 assists) in 56 appearances.
