Status report
Malkin, a center, is week-to-week. ... McCann is likely to return after missing six games with an upper-body injury. ... Zucker, a forward who has missed 13 games, skated on his own a second straight day in Pittsburgh and continues to make progress. … Blackwood, a goalie, is still being evaluated. ... Zacha skated Friday and could return after missing a 3-2 win against the Penguins on Thursday with a lower-body injury. … Bastian is doubtful.
