THE SETUP
The Penguins dodged a major bullet regarding Evgeni Malkin, as he's good to go tonight after taking a Sidney Crosby shot to the knee on Thursday against the Panthers. You can read yesterday's practice story here. Since puck drop is at 5:08 p.m., the Penguins will not hold a morning skate. Mike Sullivan will not have a pregame media availability. The team will announce the starting goaltender at 3 p.m. I'll have your coverage.
