Pittsburgh Penguins head coach Dan Bylsma announced earlier today that Evgeni Malkin will be out about 2 weeks with a shoulder strain. It seems Malkin has been playing with the injury for 3 games or so.
It looks to be a precautionary move to not further the injury this early in the season. Had this been a playoff push or the playoffs he more than likely would suit up and play.
This makes perfect sense with how well the team has played so far this season. Let Geno heal up. The Pens will need him more later than now.
