His shoulder wasn&#8217;t 100% when he came back, and still needed to tape it up to practice and play. His shoulder injury is why he was moved to the wing, since he&#8217;s not able to effectively take faceoffs.<\/p>\n<p>Muse said he had &#8216;no update&#8217; on Malkin after the game. I spoke briefly with Muse after his availability and he confirmed he knew something happened to Malkin afterward, but he wasn&#8217;t 100% clear on what happened. He didn&#8217;t seem overly concerned, but noted that he just waits for the medical staff to tell him things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Evgeni Malkin\u00a0was in clear pain on the bench after the Penguins&#8217; 3-2 win over the Canucks on Sunday.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":543743,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[42],"tags":[101011,204012,293,11065,31046,62,67,132,68,3114],"class_list":["post-543742","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-evgeni-malkin","tag-feed-article","tag-nhl","tag-penguins","tag-penguins-news","tag-sports","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us","tag-vancouver-canucks"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115960594042879459","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/543742","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=543742"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/543742\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/543743"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=543742"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=543742"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=543742"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
