Penguins 5, Flyers 4

Not much local coverage of last night's preseason game with Pittsburgh, just this small recap from the Daily News' wire services. (For a better account, click over to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.) The CCR Line acquitted themselves nicely, accounting for three of the four Flyers' goals (Calder--3 A; Carter--1 G, 1 A; Richards--2 G). The story of the game, though, was the Penguins' Evgeni Malkin. Malkin collided with fellow Pen John LeClair behind the Flyers net early in the second period. Reports indicate he laid on the ice for several minutes before being helped off and did not return to the game. The Penguins are labeling the injury as an "upper-body injury," with the picture clearly showing what may be hurting Malkin this morning. Reports also indicate that he left the arena under his own power and did not have his arm in a sling nor did he appear to be favoring it.
