Galchenyk: Malkin ‘easy to play with’

CRANBERRY, Pa. -- The Penguins held an informal skate at the Lemieux Complex on Tuesday morning as the team prepares for the start of training camp on Friday.

Of the players participating in the skate, there was one new face -- Alex Galchenyuk.

"Coming into here, meeting all the guys, it's great," Galchenyuk said after the skate. "But then the most exciting part is getting on the ice and skating with everybody, getting to know everybody, getting used to it, so we have chemistry. Everybody is looking forward to camp."

Galchenyuk was already familiar with a few of his new teammates.
