Malkin received a five-game suspension Friday for slashing the Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin in Thursday's contest.

EDGE Analysis

Malkin will be out until March 16 versus the Avalanche. Malkin's slash was particularly egregious, as it was toward the head of Dahlin, which likely factors into the significant length of this suspension. Sidney Crosby (lower body) is also out currently, so the Penguins will be getting a taste of the future without the two franchise cornerstones available over the next week-plus.

Malkin will have a hearing with the Department of Player Safety for slashing Buffalo's Rasmus Dahlin on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

At minimum, Malkin should be expected to miss at least one game, though it could certainly be longer. The veteran center was ejected from Thursday's contest, and Dahlin doesn't seem to have suffered any long-term injury, both of which could be factors in the league's decision. Regardless, Pittsburgh will likely have to face the Flyers on Saturday without its two biggest stars, Malkin and Sidney Crosby (lower body).

Malkin notched two assists, one on the power play, in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

The 39-year-old stepped up in the absence of Sidney Crosby (lower body), having a hand in tallies by Thomas Novak in the first period and Yegor Chinakhov in the third. Malkin has gotten onto the scoresheet in 11 of the last 13 games, racking up four goals and 15 points over that stretch, and he's now just eight points away from 1,400 for his career.

Malkin dished out an assist in Monday's 3-2 loss to Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

Malkin recorded the primary assist on Yegor Chinakhov's opening goal in the first period. With the helper, the 39-year-old Malkin reached the 30-assist mark for the season, which secured his fourth consecutive campaign above that total. Overall, the veteran forward is up to 43 points across 39 games this season, which ranks him in a tie for 20th in the NHL with 1.10 points per game. Since his return from an upper-body injury in early January, he has at least one point in 11 of 13 games and has 14 points in that span. He should continue to elevate the team's top six and play a large role in Pittsburgh's playoff push in the Metropolitan Division, giving him strong value across most fantasy formats.

Malkin (undisclosed) is set to play Saturday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Malkin didn't participate in Friday's practice, but he didn't end up missing any games due to the injury. He has 13 goals and 41 points in 37 outings in 2025-26. Malkin will attempt to extend his four-game scoring streak (three goals, three assists) Saturday.

Malkin (undisclosed) will be in action against Chicago on Thursday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Malkin appeared to be injured versus Vancouver on Sunday, but he will remain in the lineup for Thursday's tilt. Since returning from a previous upper-body injury, the 39-year-old center has been rolling offensively with five goals and six helpers, including two power-play points, in his last 10 outings. The natural center will continue to feature on the wing of Thomas Novak on Pittsburgh's second line.

Malkin (undisclosed) suffered an apparent injury at the end of Sunday's 3-2 win in Vancouver, and there was no update on his status after the game, according to Josh Yohe of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Per Yohe, Malkin looked to be grabbing his shoulder on the bench at the end of the game. The veteran forward opened the scoring during Sunday's victory with an even-strength goal and went plus-1 in 16:01 of ice time. Malkin returned to the lineup Jan. 8 after missing 15 games due to an upper-body issue, but it's currently unclear if this latest injury is related to his previous one. Pittsburgh's next game is at home Thursday versus the Blackhawks.

Malkin scored a goal, added an assist and went plus-3 in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Malkin had a pair of points 1:58 apart in the second period as the Penguins found a second burst of offense to put the Oilers out of reach. This was Malkin's third multi-point effort in the last five games, a span in which he has two goals and five helpers. The 39-year-old forward is up to 12 goals, 39 points, 88 shots, 26 PIM and a plus-15 rating in 35 appearances this season.

Malkin scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

The 39-year-old has three goals and five helpers over his last eight outings, showing no rust after a month-long absence due to an upper-body injury. He's up to 11 goals, 37 points, 87 shots on net, 26 PIM and a plus-12 rating over 34 appearances this season, putting him on track to easily surpass the 50-point effort he had over 68 outings a year ago.
