Brazeau also worked during the morning skate; the forward is week to week. ... Malkin, a center, will serve the final game of a five-game suspension for a slash to the face of Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin on March 5. ... The Mammoth assigned defenseman Maksymilian Szuber to Tucson of the American Hockey League on Saturday.
