Malkin (upper body) is in the lineup Saturday for Game 2 of a first-round playoff series against the Rangers, Josh Yohe of DK on Pittsburgh Sports reports.

Analysis:

Malkin has missed the past 16 games, but reportedly practiced Friday, working on a power-play unit in preparation for Game 2. He'll be a no-brainer fantasy play given his prowess on the man advantage and opposite a Rangers squad that often gets shredded while shorthanded - in the regular season, New York ranked 26th in the league with a penalty kill of 78.2 percent.
