As expected, Malkin will be in tonight's lineup against the Atlanta Thrashers.
"Today he came in with a smile on his face so I think that means he feels better," interim head coach Dan Bylsma said. "He looked better on the ice and hopefully that will give him more jump in his game."LINE COMBINATIONS (from this morning's skate)
Guerin-Crosby-Kunitz
Fedotenko-Malkin-Sykora
Cooke-Staal-Kennedy
Dupuis-Talbot-Godard
Orpik-Gonchar
Eaton-Letang
Gill-Scuderi
ILYA KOVALCHUK / JOHAN HEDBERG
Kovalchuk, the Thrashers leading scorer, will be out of the lineup tonight against the Penguins. He has missed the passed few games due to an upper-body injury. Hedberg will start in goal for the Thrasher tonight giving Lehtonen a well-deserved break.
