Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin did not play in Sunday's game against the Detroit Red Wings.
Malkin left Saturday's game against the Boston Bruins with a lower-body injury after taking a hit from forward Chris Kelly. He returned briefly only to leave again.
Penguins head coach Mike Johnston does not expect the injury to be a long-term issue.
Malkin has 28 goals and 68 points in 63 games this season.
