  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Malkin (upper body) was designated for injured reserve Tuesday. Malkin's injury was originally downplayed by head coach Dan Muse, who had initially said he believed Malkin might be available for Sunday's clash with Dallas. Now, the 39-year-old center is suddenly on injured reserve, which will cause him to miss at least Pittsburgh's next two outings. With Geno on the shelf, Kevin Hayes has been pressed into service as the Pens' second-line center.

  26D ago • By RotoWire

  Malkin scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Kraken. Malkin found the back of the net thanks to a wrister at 5:56 of the second period, and now he has six goals on the season. The veteran playmaker has been extremely productive of late and has cracked the scoresheet in all but two of his last 10 games, tallying three goals, five assists, four PIM, 26 shots and two hits over that stretch. However, he hasn't recorded a multi-point game since tallying two points in a 6-3 win over the Blues on Oct. 27.
