Practice update Malkin’s return draws near, DeSmith to COVID list

The Penguins hit the ice on Monday in California, after an off day on Sunday as they prepare to play the Anaheim Ducks tomorrow night.

There were two big pieces of news, one good and one bad. The bad, Casey DeSmith is now on the COVID protocol list, as the Pens’ growing number there sits currently at four (Bryan Rust, Brock McGinn, Drew O’Connor, in reverse order of entry).

The good news is it looks like Evgeni Malkin will be making his season debut tomorrow night against the Ducks.
