Malkin week-to-week with LBI, Pens recall Bokondji Imama & Puljujarvi
Quote:
Evgeni Malkin is week to week with a lower-body injury and was placed on injured reserve by the Penguins on Monday.
The center sustained the injury during a 4-1 loss at the Seattle Kraken on Saturday. Malkin has 34 points (nine goals, 25 assists) in 47 games this season.
"He's an important player for us," coach Mike Sullivan said prior to Pittsburgh's 2-1 loss at the San Jose Sharks on Monday. "He's a top-two center, he's dynamic with the puck. He's not an easy guy to replace."
The Penguins recalled forwards Bokondji Imama and Jesse Puljujarvi from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League.
