| Bortuzzo absorbs a hit / Pittsburgh Penguins |
It's Super Sunday today! The Pittsburgh Penguins host the Nashville Predators in a rare afternoon game. This game comes before the Penguins take a four game road trip to the Western Canada.
The Penguins practiced yesterday afternoon and were joined by Evgeni Malkin. Malkin has been placed on the injured reserve and has missed four games with a lower-body injury. Yesterday, was his first practice back since the injury. Malkin joined some of the drills and centered a line. He won't return today, but may return doing the Western Canada road trip.
More injury updates, Ehrhoff was the only missing player during yesterday's practice. He still has more test ahead to determine if he has a concussion, he has been experiencing concussion-like symptoms.
