-- Forward Evgeni Malkin, as expected, will make his return to the lineup tomorrow night at home against the Buffalo Sabres. Malkin is expected to center Chris Kunitz and Pascal Dupuis.
-- Meanwhile, forward Mark Letestu is out for up to 4-6 weeks due to a knee injury and he is scheduled to undergo surgery. The surgery will be on meniscus, according to head coach Dan Bylsma.
The surgery is likely to happen next week.
Losing Letestu is a tough break for the Penguins who lack secondary scoring. Letestu has 10 goals and 20 points on the season and is only one of five players on the team with 10 or more goals this season.
