I think they're going to rest him as much as they can now before the playoffs. It was stupid to come back early if it was still bothering him or maybe he thought he was 100%.

Your probably right.. I think i will start him anyways and hope he gets back by the weekend and then I would still get 2 games out of him..
PS. At least the guy i'm playing this week lost Carter..

Not at morning skate. That can't be a good sign.

Here's to hoping he plays this weekend...

Getting off the ice after 15 minutes isn't a good sign. Not what Malkin owners want to hear but I think he's taking the rest of the week off, they have no need to rush him at all.

I tend to agree with you that he will sit for the remainder of the weekend.. oh why did'nt i play it safe and start krejci instead.. anyways hindsight is 20-20.. pit only goes twice next week and boston goes 4 so i'll probably sit him next week anyways if i get past this weeks matchup (up 9pts at the moment)..

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin(notes) will miss a third consecutive game Saturday due to a bruised right foot.
Malkin skated for about 15 minutes during practice Friday but didn’t look comfortable before leaving the ice. Coach Dan Bylsma later said he wouldn’t play against the Flyers.
Malkin’s status for Sunday’s game against Toronto remains uncertain.

I get Malkin but whats the deal with Gonchar? Illness?
What kind of an illness could last 3-4 days? A flu is usually 24-48 hrs and he already missed a game. I can't understand how is is most likely ruled out for Saturday already??? Suck it up
