Well, work had me watching via a delay so I missed the banter but thanks all for the fun anyhow!

When you say the circus is postponed, you're not referring to the media or political know-it-alls, right?

Malkin Injured, Out for Sunday

Feb 24 2013 09:30 AM | Shady in Pittsburgh Penguins

malkin injury

Evgeni Malkin has been ruled out for Sundays game and will continue to undergo health evaluations for concussion symptoms.  Malkin slid hard into the end boards in the Penguins 3-1 win over the Florida Panthers.

Malkin was skating hard to the goal when he got tangled with Erik Gudbranson and went down.  He slammed back first into the boards and his head and neck jerked back in a whipping motion.  He remained on the ice for minutes while being tended to by Head Athletic Trainer Chris Stewart.  Malkin was able to skate off the ice and walk to the locker room under his own power.

Brandon Sutter will move up to center Malkins line with James Neal and Beau Bennet.  Dustin Jeffrey will center the third line and Joe Vitale will take over the 4th.

We send our best to Geno and wish him a speedy recovery.

Malkin has been diagnosed with a concussion. Looks like he will be out for a bit. The Pens have placed him on IR.

Penguins center Evgeni Malkin suffered short-term memory loss and has been diagnosed with a concussion as a result of falling hard into the end boards Friday in a game against the Florida Panthers.
Penguins head coach Dan Bylsma gave the update Sunday evening.
“After the hit Evgeni suffered some short-term memory loss and therefore was diagnosed with a concussion,” Bylsma said. “He’s had no other symptoms. He’s feeling fine and his memory is returning.”

Malkin will not accompany the team on their upcoming three-game road trip to Florida, Carolina and Montreal.

Bylsma noted earlier Sunday that Malkin has not suffered any headaches or disorientation at any point after the hit.

Malkin was skating with speed toward the Florida goal when he collided with Panthers defenseman Erik Gudbranson. Malkin fell onto his back and slid hard into the end boards. He remained on the ice for a while, being attended to by head athletic trainer Chris Stewart. Malkin got to his feet and skated of his own accord to the bench and headed to the locker room.

UPDATE: The Penguins announced Monday that Malkin has been placed on IR retroactive to Feb. 22. He can be removed from IR after a seven-day period, March 1 in this instance. At that point Malkin can be removed at any time or remain on IR for as long as the team chooses.
