Malkin misses games against Winnipeg Jets and Minnesota Wild

Malkin has already missed three of the past four games. Yevgeny is likely to play against the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday.

The others who didn’t travel are Sidney Crosby (concussion), Brooks Orpik (abdomen) and Dustin Jeffrey (knee).
