Malkin out this weekend with a LBI

[Dikoi]

OtherNHLCrosby: Sullivan: Malkin will be held out this week. Still says it's not long-term, but it's also not day-to-day. #Pens

Sorry for laughing but that bolded quote is just classic Malkin at this time of year! What does that even mean?!?

It means a few more 4 point Sid games, and potentially some short term increased value for Bonino, who hits the 1 month mark (expected time frame) on his broken hand on Friday.

Classic DTD for Malkin.

Evgeni Malkin is getting closer to a return from a lower body injury but has not practiced since February 4.

"He had a good day today," Sullivan said on Sunday. "He is making progress. … Hopefully he continues to make progress, and he's that much closer. We'll evaluate when we get back after (Monday's) game." Malkin has missed the last five games and Monday will make it six in a row. Consider him day-to-day. Malkin is one of the best offensive players in the NHL as he has 23 goals and 49 points in 49 games.

This is becoming ridiculous...

Evgeni Malkin (lower body) isn't taking part in Wednesday's practice.

Recent reports suggest that Malkin is making progress, but the fact that he still isn't practicing suggests that his return isn't imminent. He's missed six straight contests.

New Player Note Wed, Feb 17
Evgeni Malkin (lower body) has been skating on his own for the last few days.
Advice: Malkin still isn't practicing with the Penguins, but that's at least a silver lining. Penguins coach Mike Sullivan thinks he's close to returning.

Sigh...

He's been ruled out for both weekend games, to the surprise of no one who isn't kidding him/herself:

This is the first year I've drafted Malkin in a frozen $50 league I'm in and it will be the last. Every year...

Any updates on Geno? Everything seems very quiet!

Out tomorrow, but was back to practice in a full contact jersey. I expect the Boston game is the last one both Malkin and Bonino will miss.

That is great news! Picked him up just before the all-star game and have yet to enjoy any production.

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Evgeni Malkin and Nick Bonino returned to practice with the Penguins today at the Lemieux Sports Complex and, according to a source, both will rejoin the lineup for the Saturday home game against the Jets, barring any setbacks.

So, Saturday for both

Unfortunately, the word for "setbacks" in Russian is "Malkin"
