Evgeni Malkin Misses Wednesday's Practice
1 year agoPittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin didn't participate in Wednesday's practice due to an illness. The Penguins are preparing to face New Jersey on Thursday, and Malkin would miss his first action of the season if he doesn't feel well enough to play. Malkin has turned back the time this season with a 17-point effort across 14 outings. He boasts eight goals and nine assists for the campaign. Lark Eller could get a larger role if Malkin is unavailable on Thursday, while Jeff Carter (lower body) also appears ready for duty after getting through a full practice on Wednesday.
