Evgeni Malkin has been out since a knee injury on January 25th, but according to the player himself he is 100% going to be back when the Penguins come out of their break on Saturday.
Evgeni Malkin (lower body) said he is healthy and good to go for Saturday's game. "Oh yeah, 100 percent. I mean, I expect to play in the last game against the Rangers, but it's a little bit dangerous and I know we have 10 days of a break. It helped to recover 100 percent."

That’s good news for a Pittsburgh team that has missed Malkin severely.
