#Pens on ice for practice in Columbus. All healthy players present, and injured players Malkin and Scuderi participating.@penguins
Malkin not on a regular line, not on power play at #Penguins practice. Not looking likely for Sunday at CBJ. @pgshelly
Scuderi is "possible" to play tomorrow vs CBJ, per coach Bylsma #Pens @penguins
Malkin has yet to be cleared for contact in practice. That is the next step in his progression #Pens @penguins
Malkin not cleared for practice, thinks that will be soon; Scuderi fully cleared medically, awaiting word from coaches. #Penguins @pgshelly
Earlier tweet should have said Malkin not cleared for *contact in practice* #Penguins @pgshelly
Rob Rossi @RobRossi_Trib
Scuderi possible for Sunday return, Malkin needs more contact practices - per Bylsma #pens
Would have liked to see Malkin back on Sunday, obviously, but better keep him sidelined until he's 100% healthy. One advantage of having such a huge lead in the division is that you don't need to force injured players back into the lineup earlier than would be otherwise prudent.
Yeah, I'd imagine that if it were the playoffs that both Scuderi and Malkin would be playing by now. But as long as this team is leading the division by a mile there's absolutely no reason to rush anybody back before they're 100%.
They never did clarify what the hell Malkin's injury was did they. Gotta love the transparency this organization demonstrates at times.
Yeah, Malkin seems to be completely fine. He said today that he could be cleared to practice with the contact as soon as tomorrow (possible, but not sure). He also said that playing in Columbus is not a real option but the next game after that potentially could be his return.
Bennett, still in a cast, it looks like it goes above the elbow. Megna, not on crutches, I don't see a brace but idk about that one.
Damn Beau and Megna are some handsome mothe****ers
Hmmm....Letang has some serious competition for most beautiful Pens player.
James Neal would like a word with you
Letang skating without apparatus on his arm. Has full range of motion, per coach Bylsma #Pens @penguins
Scuderi told the coaches he's ready to play. But the decision is up to them #Pens @penguins
12.29.13 - Game Day @ Nationwide Arena, Columbus
**No announcement on this, but on the Pens roster page, Scuderi has been activated from IR and Malkin has been placed on IR
Does that say anything about Malkin's return date or is it just an admin move. If Malkin's on IR now, when's the earliest he can be activated?
I would guess it's an admin move, since they activated Scuderi ... easier than sending one of the call-ups back from a road game. Malkin's IR should be retro-active to the 15th, so I think he can be activated at any time.
