Things just keep getting better for the Penguins in terms of injuries

Forward Evgeni Malkin (above) will miss tomorrow's game in New Jersey due to what is believed to be a leg injury.

In 15:50 of ice time last night against the Red Wings, Malkin recorded one assist, had three shots and was a plus-1. In 42 games this season, he has 37 points.

As a result, the team recalled forward Dustin Jeffrey from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

Jeffrey  has been recalled multiple times from the AHL this season. In four NHL games this season, Jeffrey has two points (one goal, one assist).

He is the AHL Penguins' leading scorer this season with 39 points (15 goals, 24 assists) in 36 games this season.

Much as I know we're hurting with Sid out, I wish they'd figure out how much rest Geno needs to get it sorted out once and for all so he can, if possible, actually be healthy for the final stretch and playoffs.

Agreed, interesting news here on Malkin. Maybe a solid reason for his play? Can he now have full recovery from this injury and then "Sort things Out"? It's time to Sort things Out, Geno...here we come Sir Stanley..It's time.
