Evgeni Malkin On Track To Return Saturday
1 min agoPittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin (lower body) is ready to rejoin the lineup on Saturday against the Washington Capitals. He has been out for six games due to a lower-body injury but returned to practice recently. Malkin will likely jump on the second line. The Russian veteran has had a disappointing season, amassing 34 points (nine goals, 25 assists) in 47 outings. He has managed only one goal and two assists over his past nine outings. Pittsburgh is struggling, and it appears unlikely that Malkin will improve his scoring pace over the final couple of months of the season.
