Malkin (lower-body) will be back in the Penguins lineup on Monday.

Malkin has missed the last 23 games with a lower-body injury but will play Monday vs. the Flyers. Malkin will be back on the second line with Jason Zucker and Kasperi Kapanen and will replace Jared McCann on PP1. Malkin has scored eight goals with 16 assists in 29 games this year.

Malkin (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Saturday.

Malkin has been out since March 16th but will be a game-time decision on Saturday. Malkin has been skating recently but its unclear where he will slot in in his return to the lineup. Malkin, who was red-hot before he got hurt, comes into Saturday with 24 points (8G / 16A) in 29 games.

Johnsson (undisclosed) will be "out for a bit."

With the season wrapping up in less than two weeks, Johnsson's season is most likely over. After posting 64 points (28G / 36A) in 116 games over the last two seasons with Toronto, Johnsson struggled in New Jersey. The 26-year-old had just four goals and six assists (10 points) in 48 games and could be a candidate to be left unprotected and claimed by Seattle next year.

Graves left Friday's game with an upper-body injury and did not return; questionable to play Saturday.

The Avalanche did not provide an update on Graves' condition postgame, so it's unclear whether or not he will be available for Saturday's rematch. If not, look for Jacob MacDonald to draw back into the lineup and for Patrik Nemeth to move up and skate with Cale Makar.
