From Toronto Sun:

Pittsburgh Penguins centre Evgeni Malkin will join teammate Sidney Crosby on the sideline for this weekend's all-star game because of a sinus infection.

The news comes one day after it was learned that Crosby will also sit out Sunday's contest while he continues his recovery from a concussion.

Malkin has missed Pittsburgh's last two games because of the sinus issue and has also been bothered by a balky knee of late. He will also sit out Tuesday against the New York Islanders -- Pittsburgh's last game before the All-Star break.

Malkin injured in return to lineuo - NHL.com

Evgeni Malkin's return to the Pittsburgh Penguins lineup didn't last long.

Malkin left Friday's game against the Buffalo Sabres with what appeared to be a right leg injury after a second-period collision with Sabres defenseman Tyler Myers.

Malkin got tied up racing for a loose puck in the corner with Myers in the first few seconds of the period. Myers, a 6-foot-8 defenseman, appeared to fall on Malkin's right leg, which crumpled underneath him. Malkin remained on the ice for some time, then skated off to the dressing room with some assistance.

According to the Penguins' official Twitter feed, Malkin suffered what the team is calling a lower-body injury and will not return.

After having an MRI on his injured right knee Monday, it has been determined by doctors that Martin Brodeur does not require surgery on sprained ligaments.

"It's a non-operable situation," Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello said, refusing to give details. "It will be a day-to-day situation with no timetable. That doesn't mean it's going to be a long time and it doesn't mean he'll be back tomorrow."

From Dallas Morning News :

Brad Richards is dealing with concussion-like symptoms, the Stars confirmed Saturday.
