With Game 2 between the Penguins and Islanders just over 24 hours away, it’s unclear whether Evgeni Malkin is any closer to being back in the lineup for Pittsburgh.
Malkin did not skate in warmups prior to Game 1, and did not play. The Penguins fell 4-3 in overtime at PPG Paints Arena on Sunday afternoon.
Malkin did skate in practice on Monday, but did not take regular line rushes.
Brian Dumoulin is not on the ice for Pens practice. He was in a lot of pain after blocking a shot in the third period of Game 1.
