The Penguins finally get back on the ice tonight when they take on the New York Islanders in Brooklyn. The team downgraded forward Jared McCann from “day-to-day” – in the words of assistant coach Todd Reardon, to “week-to-week”. McCann suffered a lower body injury last Saturday against the Islanders.
Center Evgeni Malkin left practice with an eye irritation but is not expected to miss tonight’s game. Defenseman Marcus Pettersson practiced in a gray “no contact” jersey. He’s been out since being injured on January 19
th against the Capitals.
