Malkin expected to miss 'months' per Ron Hextall
According to Penguins general manager Ron Hextall, Evgeni Malkin will miss at least the first two months of the 2021-22 season to recover from off-season knee surgery.
The Magnitogorsk, Russia native only appeared in 33 games during the 2020-21 season due to a lower-body injury and he also missed two of Pittsburgh's playoff games against the New York Islanders due to a knee injury.
Malkin is entering the final year of an eight-year deal he signed with the Penguins back on July 1st 2013. Should the Penguins and Malkin fail to agree to terms on an extension, he will become an unrestricted free agent on July 1st 2022.
