"[Evgeni Malkin] was not able to get on the ice today. He was trying to skate and get on the ice and deal with it," [Dan] Bylsma said. "Hopefully tomorrow he will be in (the lineup)."
We'll see more as this develops into our game preview. The Penguins tough sledding against the New Jersey Devils has just gotten a little tougher.
Also it looks like Alex Goligoski's back in the lineup, at the expense of veteran Jay McKee.
For the Devils, defenseman Paul Martin will be playing his first game since all the way back on October 24th, when Pittsburgh's Bill Guerin broke Martin's arm with a normal looking slapshot. Martin blocked the puck and has been out almost six months.

Sucks for McKee
I thought McKee played alright. With that said I don’t think Goligoski is a bad choice either. Tough having seven capable defenseman, just thought they would go with the defensive minded McKee against the Devils tonight for some extra help against Kovy, Elias and the like. We will see. Hopefully the Pens can figure out a way to get it done and get a win against these darn Devils.
LETS GO PENS!
I agree, I have no problems with McKee’s play of late, I might sit Eaton for a game or two and let McKee keep playing.
Wayne Gretzky had it wrong: 100% of the shots Gary Roberts doesn't take DO go in.
