Evgeni Malkin Set To Miss Multiple Games
4 years agoPittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin (lower body) was added to the Injured Reserve, and he's set to miss multiple games. The move was retroactive to March 16, so the Russian superstar will be out for all three games against New Jersey this week. Malkin was on fire before getting hurt in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Boston, notching 12 points during an eight-game point streak. With Teddy Blueger (upper body) and Jared McCann (upper body) also unavailable, the Penguins forward line has taken a big hit. Evan Rodrigues and Brandon Tanev joined Kasperi Kapanen on the second line for Thursday's matchup against the Devils, and they are big beneficiaries of the injury crisis.
