The Pittsburgh Penguins will be without star center Evgeni Malkin \"longer term\" because of a lower body injury, coach Mike Sullivan announced on Monday. The coach said that Malkin\'s season is not in jeopardy.
The 33-year-old Malkin left the second period of Pittsburgh\'s 7-2 win over Columbus on Saturday after taking a hit to the boards while in an awkward position.
