It opens up ice for everybody else," Kunitz said. "Every time Geno's on the ice it feels like he's got a chance to score a goal or make a play." Malkin also dazzled in 2008 when Crosby was sidelined for seven weeks with a high ankle sprain, piling up 36...

He's doing real well ... We anticipate him back tomorrow (Tuesday). He had a hard skate with coach Bylsma today. I actually ran into Kris Letang at a Walgreen's yesterday, believe it or not. He should be back at practice tomorrow.
It’s impressive enough for a defenseman to compile three goals and six points in two games, which is exactly what Letang did. But it’s even more impressive when you factor in that Letang produced such offense while being tasked with shutting down the...
Evgeni Malkin lit the lamp twice and the Pittsburgh Penguins scored four unanswered goals Sunday night to beat the Tampa Bay Lightning, 4-2. The Penguins bounced back from the two quickest goals by one player in Tampa Bay history to improve to 2-0 on a...

I have no clue, I didn't see it
was Kris Letang concussed by the Pacioretty hit and allowed to come back into the game?
I lost my breath and was just trying to figure out what happened
I don’t know what he’s talking about. I was preaching about the hits like (Max Pacioretty’s hit on Kris Letang on Saturday), not a scrum ... I don’t know what he expects after he runs a goalie three times.
Obviously, my nose (was) broken, so the doc put it in place and I was ready to go
It just came loose on my stick — I pulled it and I shot it
He came to apologize ... It was a great gesture by him.
They were just happy to see me get back in the game
The whole time me and Nealer were digging for it ... It just came loose on my stick. I pulled it and I shot it.
It’s a protocol to have to do as soon as somebody gets hit in the head
The puck was in front. Me and Neal were digging for it ... It became loose and I poked it in.
For us, watching him every day in practice, even last year when we were in the playoffs and he was skating with us, he was doing amazing things ... He treated his rehab real seriously and that's what happens when you make the sacrifice. He came back and was 100 per cent like he said he was going to be.
I knew he was going to back to 100 per cent on the ice, where he left off last year ... And that's what he did. He took his rehab seriously, and the team did too. They gave him time, and he came back great.
I knew he was going to back to 100 percent on the ice, where he left off last year, and that's what he did
He's always there for us ... I don't think there's been one night this year when he was not ready for a game.
It was pretty special what he did tonight ... His speed is back, obviously. He came back strong and he came back at 100 per cent.
He looked fast, he found players, he created a lot of scoring chances and that’s his job ... He came in really well. He came back strong and he came back 100 percent. You saw the real Sid tonight.
Everybody was excited ... Watching him every day in practice you know he wants to get back in the game, but it’s not ready, he’s not 100 percent…tonight is the time he had to show what he’s capable of and he responded very well.
We know what he means to this team, this city ... He's a special player.
I don't think we had any quality chances
