Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby and fellow center Evgeni Malkin, who have been out because of injuries, skated at practice Sunday at the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex.<\/p>\n

Crosby missed Saturday\u2019s loss <\/a>against Dallas after leaving <\/a>Thursday\u2019s win at Ottawa<\/a> because of a lower-body injury. He leads the Penguins with 28 goals and 64 points in 61 games.<\/p>\n

Malkin has missed the past three games because of a suspected hand injury. He has 15 goals, 52 points in 51 games.<\/p>\n

Crosby and Malkin are listed as day-to-day. They were wearing black (presumably contact allowed) jerseys at practice and appeared to be full participants in drills.<\/p>\n

On the flip side, forwards Bryan Rust and Noel Acciari were not on the ice for practice.<\/p>\n

The Penguins are scheduled to fly to New York later Sunday for a huge Metropolitan Division showdown Monday against the Islanders.<\/p>\n

We hope to get more of an update after practice.<\/p>\n
