Evgeni Malkin likely to return tomorrow against Detroit

The Pittsburgh Penguins don’t provide a lot of injury information in the first place, but a week before the playoffs there’s almost nothing being said.

Instead, seeing what happens at practice usually means more than the words said. But, in both cases, it’s looking very, very likely that Evgeni Malkin will return tomorrow night at home against the Detroit Red Wings.

Malkin took “contact” (not that there’s much anyways) and participated in all the line rushes and with the top power play group.
