Penguins: Malkin & Hainsey Out With Upper-Body Injuries

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – The hits just keep on coming for the Pittsburgh Penguins as Evgeni Malkin and Ron Hainsey have been added to the injury report.

According to head coach Mike Sullivan, Malkin will not play tonight against New Jersey due to an upper- body injury.

Meanwhile, Hainsey left Wednesday's game against the Flyers and did not return. Sullivan classified his status as "week-to-week" with an upper-body injury.

Earlier in the day, the team announced it had recalled defenseman Derrick Pouliot. He has played eight games for the Penguins this season, but has not recorded a point.

There was some good news after the team's morning skate as Patric Hornqvist will be a game-time decision. Hornqvist has been out of the lineup since March 5 with a concussion.

Kris Letang, Bryan Rust and Olli Maatta also skated before the rest of their teammates took the ice this morning.
