Finally Some Good Injury News For The Pittsburgh Penguins

It’s gotten to the point where it seems strange to hear positive news on the Pittsburgh Penguins injury front.

On Saturday night Evgeni Malkin returned to the team and helped the Penguins defeat the Boston Bruins in a thrilling overtime game.
