Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin has been ruled out of Thursday's contest against the Boston Bruins as well as the upcoming NHL All-Star Game.
Malkin sustained a lower-body injury during Tuesday's 3-0 setback to the St. Louis Blues and will be re-evaluated after the break, coach Mike Sullivan said Wednesday. The 30-year-old Russian saw his season-high seven-game point streak come to an end despite logging 18:27 of ice time versus the Blues.
