Evgeni Malkin Records Six Shots In Comeback
5 years agoPittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin was back in the lineup on Saturday vs. Edmonton after missing 11 games with a lower-body injury, generating a game-high six shots on net in a 2-1 overtime loss. Teddy Blueger also had six shots on goal in the game. Malkin got off to a nice start to the year when he scored in the Pens season opener against Buffalo, but an injury in the very next game has left him playing catch up. The 33-year-old Russian has now missed at least 10 games in seven of the last eight seasons, which puts a dent on his fantasy value, but he's a point-per-game player when healthy, so fingers crossed he won't run into further injury trouble.
