PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Evgeni Malkin has been placed on the NHL's COVID-19 Protocol List, the Pittsburgh Penguins announced Monday.
The Penguins return to game action Tuesday following a long weekend for the NHL All-Star Game in Las Vegas.
Because Malkin is in COVID-19 Protocol, the team has recalled forwards Michael Chaput and Valtteri Puustinen from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.
Before the All-Star break, the Penguins played the Washington Capitals. The morning after, Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin tested positive for COVID-19.
The Penguins play the Boston Bruins on Tuesday at 7 p.m.
