#Pens Malkin will play tonight vs. #NHLJets
Malkin has missed the Penguins last nine games with a shoulder injury. He will return to the lineup and assume his spot on the Pens second line alongside James Neal and Brenden Morrow. The Pens also acquired Jarome Iginla last night and he is expected to play with Malkin and Neal, that sounds like a scary line. Get Malkin in your lineups.
Malkin still day to day.
Malkin continues to practice but isn't ready to play yet. Pittsburgh plays tomorrow and Saturday, monitor his status for tomorrow's contest with the Jets.
Bylsma said Malkin and Letang are "very close." Didn't rule them out tonight but didn't indicate they'll play. Game-time decision #Pens

There was speculation earlier in the week that Malkin would be back tonight. He practiced this morning but just filled in for Matt Cooke and did not participate in power-play drills. The Penguins next game is on Sunday. Monitor Malkin's status prior to Sunday's contest.
Malkin still isn’t sure if he can play Friday.
Malkin described himself Wednesday as “not 100 percent” and attempted to lower expectations for a return Friday at the New York Islanders. Malkin has missed the last six games. He has played in only three of the Penguins' previous 13 games. They are 11-2-0 over that stretch but only 7 for 31 (22.6 percent) on the power play without Malkin in the lineup. Malkin is considered day to day, coach Dan Bylsma said.
Malkin says he's hoping to play later this week. Mentioned Friday as possible. #Penguins

This will be the fourth game in a row that Malkin will have missed with an upper-body injury. The Penguins play on Sunday as well, consider Malkin doubtful.
Pittsburgh, they will be without the services of Evgeni Malkin again tonight. Malkin continues to recover from an upper-body injury he suffered against the Maple Leafs on Saturday.
It is easy for the Penguins to play without Malkin when they have Sidney Crosby and Christ Kunitz playing at the level they are right now. Crosby had five assists, while Kunitz recorded his second hat trick of the season in addition to setting up two other goals in a 6-1 win. Malkin will miss the next 1-2 weeks with the upper-body injury.
Malkin will not play tonight.
He is out tonight with an upper body injury that is said not to be a concussion.
Upper body injury on Malkin. Not a head injury. He was kept out for precautionary reasons.

This is great news for the Penguins who get one of the NHL's best players back in their lineup. He will play tonight vs. Tampa Bay, there will be no shortage of talent on the ice tonight with Malkin, Crosby and Stamkos. Malkin has four goals and 17 assists in 18 games this season.
Malkin on the ice for #Penguins morning skate. Not likely to play tonight, but we'll see how things go.
Malkin was cleared for contact yesterday and is on the ice this morning with his regular line with James Neal and Matt Cooke. He is also practicing on the power-play units so it looks like there is a chance that Malkin plays, but check back later to see if he will play for sure.
Bylsma says Evgeni isn't engaging in any physical activity and there is no set schedule for him to do so.
Malkin was placed on IR yesterday and there is no timetable for his return.
