Recchi Update - No Real Malkin News

It was announced today that Mark Recchi has suffered a fracture in his cheek. The injury is not expected to cause any missed time. Recchi will probably be held out of the next couple preseason games, but should be fine for opening night.

Some sources are saying that Evgeni Malkin did dislocate his shoulder, but the Penguins training staff was able to pop it back in. This has not been confirmed, but seems logical. He was taken to the hospital for observation, and will be further evaluated today. He was given a sling last night, but chose not to wear it. He was at Penguins practice today, but did not participate. It sounds like he will not miss a significant amount of time, which would be great for the Penguins. Malkin has really looked to be one of the best forwards on the team during camp thus far.
