Yeah Neal may as well be on the IR too, cause he's been as absolute ghost without Malkin. Its crazy.
Screw it, I'm benching Neal this week. He's been swimming in shit without Malkin.

MORNING SKATE INFO
Matt Cooke and Douglas Murray (travel) are absent from the team's skate. Evgeni Malkin did not work with a line and Kris Letang worked on the fourth D-pair. A sign that they will not return tonight.
Morrow skated on the second line with Dustin Jeffrey and James Neal. He also worked at the net-front on the team's second power-play unit.

Just saw this in twitter:
“@PensInsideScoop: 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 -SK”
“@emptynetters: Bylsma sort of clarified on Malkin/Letang: "They're both very close. There's a possibility they could play today."”

So Letang got taken off IR but not Malkin. Sign he's not playing tonight?
I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.

Don't mistake opinion for fact.
My guess is Saturday for a pretty basic reason: money. I believe, and someone can correct me if I'm wrong if this was changed in the last CBA, but a player who misses 10 games or more on the IR, his salary doesn't count against the cap for those games missed. Malkin's 10th game is Thursday.
So if this is still true, and he misses Thursday's game, the Pens just saved one-fifth of Malkin's cap hit. That could get you another good player at the deadline.
Not sure if that is accurate.
Writer of the weekly Top 10 column.
12-team Keeper pool, straight points for forwards & dmen. Goalies get: 2 points per win, 3 per shutout, 1 point per assist & 1 point per shootout loss.
League champ in 2013, 2015, 2018, 2020 and 2022.
Top 8 forwards, 5 dmen and 2 goalies count.
We keep 15 players (any position) plus two rookies.
Forwards: Panarin, Ovechkin, Kopitar, Stamkos, Tuch, Rust, Marchessault, Pavelski, Miller, Bertuzzi, Stone, Kakko, Brown, Stankoven, Kovalenko
Defence: Hedman, Fox, Matheson, Thrun, Jiricek
Goalies: Kochetkov, Talbot, Vasilevskiy, Campbell, Schmid
His salary will count fully against the cap no matter how long he's out. But if he goes on LTIR, Penguins could exceed the cap by the amount of Malkin's cap hit WHILE Malkin is on LTIR. So it doesn't make difference if Malkin comes back Thursday or Saturday.
Besides Penguins have cap space to add any and all players they want. They can still add cap hits worth of over $20 million at the deadline.
