“NHL scoring champion Evgeni Malkin will be lost to the Pittsburgh Penguins for two to three weeks because of a strained right shoulder.
Malkin had been attempting to play through the injury, but coach Dan Bylsma said the team decided to rest the centre. The Russian star would miss seven games if he is out two weeks and 10 games if he is out three.” (source-Slam!sports)
Malkin has been very durable, having played 254 consecutive regular season games prior to this injury. I’d bet on him being back in 2 weeks rather then three based on his history. You get the impression Geno doesn’t like sit out, he said quote “It’s early in the season. It’s fine,” Malkin said. “I feel good. It’s not a big problem.” Poolies are hoping he’s right.
Penguins center Evgeni Malkin will miss “a couple weeks” because of a strained right shoulder, coach Dan Bylsma announced after practice today at Mellon Arena.
Malkin is tied with Sidney Crosby for the team scoring lead with 14 points. Last season, he won the NHL regular-season and playoff scoring titles and was the playoff MVP as he helped the Penguins win the Stanley Cup.
