The Pittsburgh Penguins announced Monday they placed star forward Evgeni Malkin on injured reserve with a lower-body injury. The Athletic's Rob Rossi reported Malkin is expected to miss a few weeks.

The Penguins forward left Saturday's game against the Kraken with a lower-body injury after colliding with Chandler Stephenson.
