Evgeni Malkin will play with Sidney Crosby on the top line for the time being, according to the Tribune-Review.

October 21, 2006
Evgeni Malkin found the back of the net once again Saturday night in the Penguins 5-3 win over the Blue jackets on Saturday, according to the AP. The highly touted rookie spent most of the night skating alongside Sidney Crosby and has now scored in each of his three games this season.

October 18, 2006
The Penguins plan to give Evgeni Malkin a full workload right away, as he makes his heralded debut tonight, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He'll center the second line -- likely with Ryan Malone and Mark Recchi -- and play on the penalty-killing and top power-play units. "We're going to use him like we were expecting to [before he was injured], because we know he's ready to play," coach Michel Therrien said. He should be active in all formats.
October 16, 2006

"I'm a little bit nervous before every game, but I'm not going to be too much more nervous before the first one," Malkin said through a translator after practice Monday. "But we will see how it goes." Malkin was cleared to resume playing late last week.
October 14, 2006
Evgeni Malkin took some light contact in practice on Friday for the first time since dislocating his shoulder, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The Pens want to see him take some hits before sending him into a game. "That's something we're going to start doing [during practice]," coach Michel Therrien said. "We'll talk to the doctor [today], and he'll let us know." Therrien added that Malkin could make his NHL debut as soon as Wednesday.

October 7, 2006
Evgeni Malkin was on the ice for yesterday's practice, though he took part only in limited activities during the session, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

At this point, it appears he should be in games no later than the end of the month, barring a setback.
October 2, 2006
Penguins GM Ray Shero said he has a timetable for when Evgeni Malkin might return from his dislocated left shoulder "in the back of my mind, but I don't want to hold anyone to it," according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Shero likely will give a firmer schedule for Malkin's recovery later this week. An initial estimate was that he could miss about 10 games. Malkin still has a ton of upside this season, despite the injury.
September 26, 2006
Evgeni Malkin will not need surgery on his dislocated left shoulder but still could be sidelined up to six weeks, according to the AP. Malkin was injured during his first exhibition game Wednesday.

September 20, 2006
Evgeni Malkin was injured during his first NHL exhibition game Wednesday night when he collided with teammate John LeClair early in the second period, according to the AP.

Frankly, I was happy he got up considering the way he went down."

Malkin will be the team's No. 2 center this year behind Sidney Crosby.
September 2, 2006
Evgeni Malkin is expected to begin contract negotiations with the Penguins next week and appears likely to be with the team in time for rookie camp, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The young phenom should be a very nice fantasy asset this year.

The Penguins are still hopeful that the 20-year-old Malkin, who was the second overall pick in the 2004 draft, will be able to play for them this coming season.
