Penguins' Evgeni Malkin: Ready to go Tuesday

Malkin (knee) will be back in the lineup for Tuesday night's game against the Canucks, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.

Analysis:

As expected, Malkin makes his long-awaited return after a seven-game absence. Before being injured, Geno was displaying some of the form we've come to expect from him over the years, notching six goals and five assists to go with a plus-2 rating in an eight-game span before going down. We'll see if he can pick up where he left off Tuesday.
