Penguins' Malkin, Hagelin out for Game 1 vs. Capitals
The Pittsburgh Penguins announced Wednesday that injured forwards Evgeni Malkin and Carl Hagelin will not dress for Game 1 against the Washington Capitals.
Malkin traveled with the team to Washington but Hagelin did not make the trip. Malkin missed Game 6 of the first round against the Philadelphia Flyers with an undisclosed injury, while Hagelin left the same contest following a hit by Flyers captain Claude Giroux.
Game 1 of the second-round series is set for Thursday.
Malkin has picked up five points in five playoff games, while Hagelin has notched three points across six games.
Here's how the lines looked Wednesday without Malkin and Hagelin in tow:
