Penguins F Malkin limping, will be evaluated on Sunday
Pittsburgh Penguins Evgeni Malkin was helped off the ice during Saturday night's game between the Detroit Red Wings and the Penguins. After the game the star center was spotted limping.
Penguins head coach Dan Bylsma said after the game that Malkin is dealing with a "lower-body injury" and will be tested tomorrow:
Bylsma said Letang has upper-body injury, Malkin lower-body injury. Both to be tested tomorrow. Malkin is limping now, FWIW.

Whether he's limping or not, that Malkin is ambulatory is a very good sign after his awkward collision with the end boards on Saturday night.
