The Pittsburgh Penguins added star forward Evgeni Malkin to the NHL's COVID-19 protocol list Monday.
The 35-year-old missed the first 34 games of 2021-22 following offseason knee surgery. He's produced five goals and eight assists in 12 contests since making his return in early January.
Pittsburgh recalled forwards Michael Chaput and Valtteri Puustinen in corresponding moves.
The Penguins resume their regular-season schedule Tuesday against the Boston Bruins.
