Pockets helper in return Malkin notched a power-play assist in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Stars.
Impact Making his return after a four-game absence due to an upper-body injury, Malkin wasted little time making an impact as he set up Sidney Crosby for the afternoon's first goal early in the first period. The 38-year-old Malkin is nearing the end of his Hall of Fame career -- after not missing a game in each of the prior two seasons, he's only suited up for 63 of Pittsburgh's 77 contests so far in 2024-25, producing 15 goals and 47 points.

Set to play Malkin (upper body) will return to the lineup against Dallas on Saturday.
Impact Following a four-game absence, Malkin will return to a top-six role and see power-play time versus the Stars on Saturday. He has generated 15 goals, 46 points and 108 shots on net in 62 appearances this season. Malkin will replace Joona Koppanen in Saturday's lineup.

Game-time call Saturday Malkin (upper body) will be a game-time decision ahead of Saturday's clash with Dallas, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
Impact Malkin was hitting his offensive stride prior to his four-game absence, recording three goals and two assists, including three power-play points, in his previous seven outings. If he suits up Saturday, Malkin should reclaim his spot on the second line in addition to linking up with one of the power-play units.

Won't play versus Blues Malkin (upper body) skated Thursday but won't be in the lineup against St. Louis, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
Impact Malkin will be sidelined for his fourth consecutive contest due to his lingering upper-body issue. The veteran center was finding his stride offensively prior to getting hurt with three points and two helpers, including three power-play points, in his last seven outings. Until Malkin is given the all-clear, Rickard Rakell looks set to remain in the center position.

Traveling with team Malkin (upper body) will join the Penguins on their three-game road trip that kicks off in St. Louis on Thursday, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.
Impact Malkin hasn't started practicing with the team yet and while this is certainly a good sign, it likely means he won't be ready for Thursday's tilt -- though he hasn't been officially ruled out by the team. Still, the fact that Malkin will be on the trip bodes well for him rejoining the lineup sooner rather than later. Once Malkin returns, he should step into his usual No. 2 center role, which will allow Rickard Rakell to shift back to the wing.

Finds twine on power play Malkin netted a power-play goal in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to Florida.

The 38-year-old vet is up to 15 goals, 46 points and 108 shots on net in 62 appearances this season. While Malkin has struggled at times to find the back of the net this season, he has goals in back-to-back games and six lamp lighters in his past 14 appearances. His improved play down the stretch makes the 19-year NHL superstar a solid play in most fantasy formats while the Penguins make a run towards an Eastern Conference Playoff spot.
