Puts up pair of helpers Malkin notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.

Impact Malkin is rolling again with two goals and three helpers over five games since he returned from an upper-body injury. The 39-year-old set up goals by Yegor Chinakhov and Sidney Crosby in this contest. Malkin is at 34 points (15 on the power play), 74 shots on net, 26 PIM and a plus-8 rating through 31 appearances as a steady part of the Penguins' second line. While he's historically been a center throughout his career, he's working on the wing currently, which gives him versatility in some fantasy formats.

Moves up team record list Malkin scored a goal late in the third period of Tuesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Lightning.

Impact The Pens had the extra attacker on the ice when Malkin scored his 10th goal of the season at 17:44 of the third. It was his sixth game-tying goal in the final three minutes of regulation to pass Mario Lemieux, Jaromir Jagr, Rick Kehoe and Jake Guentzel (each with five) for the second most in franchise history. Sidney Crosby holds the record (eight). Malkin is on a personal, albeit injury-interrupted six-game scoring streak that includes four goals, four assists and four power-play points (one goal). He also has eight PIM and 12 shots in that span.

Finds twine in return Malkin scored a power-play goal, fired four shots on net, served two PIM and dished out two hits in Thursday's 4-1 win over New Jersey.

Impact Malkin ripped a one-timer to score on a power play in his return from an upper-body injury, which kept him sidelined for 15 games. With his effort in the triumphant return, the 20-year NHL veteran has nine goals, 30 points and 70 shots on net through 27 games this season. While the Penguins had their ups and downs without Malkin in the lineup, his return serves as an immediate boost to their lineup. Dating back to the games prior to his injury, the 39-year-old center has a three-game point streak and has failed to find the scoresheet just six times when healthy this season. While he slotted into Thursday's lineup as the second-line left winger, he will likely be eased back into his regular role up the center of the ice over the next few games. If Malkin ended up on fantasy waivers due to injury, he is a priority add in all league formats and remains on pace for 60-plus points this season.

Cleared for contact Malkin (upper body) has been cleared for contact and could be an option against the Devils on Thursday after head coach Dan Muse told reporters, "He looked good, have another pract...

Impact The Penguins didn't do line rushes for Monday's optional practice session, but Malkin figures to be a lock to reclaim his spot as the No. 2 center once given the all-clear. Additionally, the Russian forward should be back on the top power-play unit where he has generated 13 of his 29 points this year.

Not traveling with team Malkin (upper body) took the ice in a non-contact jersey Friday but won't join the Penguins for their two-game road trip, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.

Impact It's a step in the right direction for Malkin, though he doesn't appear to be significantly closer to returning to the lineup. For now, Thomas Novak continues to work as the second-line center but will no doubt be dropped to the bottom-six once Malkin is given the all-clear.
