Inatt är det tydligen dags för Malkin att göra försäsongsdebut med Penguins
"He gets his first real test tonight in his NHL pre-season debut against the Philadelphia Flyers. Malkin stayed behind in Moncton with other Penguins while the rest of the team took on Ottawa in Halifax on Tuesday night.
"He certainly has the size, the hockey sense, unbelievably quick hands," Penguins GM Ray Shero said while watching him practice Tuesday at the Moncton Coliseum. "He’s getting comfortable. Day by day he’s doing better. And the guys off the ice are doing a good job of making him feel comfortable."
"Malkin’s top priority right now is finding chemistry with linemates Recchi and Ryan Malone.
"I’m really happy with this line," Malkin said through the translator. "Every single day I’m feeling more and more comfortable. I’m really excited."
Off the ice, the Penguins have been prudent. Malkin has been living with star Russian defenceman Sergei Gonchar as well as the translator, Besa Tsintsadze — who also happens to double as Pittsburgh’s power skating instructor."
Och säsongsdebuten hade nog Malkin gärna stått över.
"Malkin, the Penguins’ star rookie, had a nasty collision with John LeClair 1:02 into the second period. Malkin fell awkwardly face-first onto the ice and left the game with an upper body injury."
"“Malkin will be evaluated further [Thursday] by doctors in Pittsburgh. We’ll just see how he’s doing and go from there,” Penguins General Manager Ray Shero said. “I was happy he got up because it looked [bad] with the way he went down."

Svårt att fatta hur stor BJ var "over there". Men detta säger en del.
