Malkin (knee) will be a game-time decision on Tuesday.
Malkin has not played this season but has been practicing regularly for a while. This is the first time that he's been listed as a game-time decision, which is a good sign that he'll be available in Anaheim. Malkin skated on the second line with Jeff Carter and Kasperi Kapanen and PP1 in Monday's practice session.

Malkin continues to practice with the team but the Penguins are taking a cautious approach to returning him to the lineup. His next chance to return is Tuesday in Anaheim.
Carter will draw back into the Penguins lineup on Saturday.
Carter missed the last four games but will play Saturday afternoon in Dallas. Carter will replace Bryan Rust, who is on the COVID-19 protocol list, and should centre the second line and be on PP1. Carter has 17 points (9G / 8A) in 27 games this season.

Jarry will start Saturday in Dallas.
The Penguins have placed Bryan Rust in COVID-19 protocol.
This is terrible timing for Rust, who has been one of the hottest players in the NHL recently, scoring eight goals with four assists (12 points) in his last four games. Jeff Carter will replace him in the lineup and Evan Rodrigues may replace him on the top line.
Karlsson (upper-body) remains day-to-day and will not play Saturday.
The Sharks are hopeful that Karlsson will be available next Tuesday, so this does not appear to be an injury that will sideline him long-term. Brent Burns will remain on the top PP unit with Ryan Merkley on PP2 on Saturday.
