Penguins' Evgeni Malkin (elbow) doesn't need surgery

Pittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin will not require surgery on his injured elbow.

What It Means:

Malkin sustained the injury on March 11, and he played through it on Pittsburgh's run to the title. An MRI determined he didn't need offseason surgery, and Malkin is expected to be fully healthy for training camp.

In 57 games last season, Malkin registered 27 goals and 31 assists. It was his fifth straight year averaging more than a point per game. Malkin's 55.1 Corsi For Percentage and 4.7 Relative Corsi For Percentage at Even Strength were both better than his career averages.
