Guess what? Pittsburgh Penguins star Evgeni Malkin is out with an upper body injury AGAIN. This is certainly not good news for the Pens, Considering he’s one of the best players in the team, with 27 total goals, and 53 overall points.
The Penguins have been doing well recently, though. They’re neck and neck with the Rangers, battling for second place way behind the Capitals, but the Pens have already clinched the playoff spot and home ice.
If anything, Malkin's absence has helped the team and let the third line units be more productive.
