The Pittsburgh Penguins will welcome Evgeni Malkin back to the lineup on Friday night, the team announced.

Malkin returns as the club gets set to take on the Buffalo Sabres in a home-and-home series this weekend after missing the last four games with an upper-body injury.

Of course, Malkin will surely give the Penguins a shot in the arm as he has been his usual productive self this season when healthy, posting 21 points in 22 games.
