Pittsburgh Penguins stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin will miss their game against the Washington Capitals due to injuries, postponing their 100th meeting with Alex Ovechkin. Crosby is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, while Malkin has an upper-body injury. The Penguins recently secured a playoff spot for the first time since 2022 and are likely to finish second in the Metropolitan Division. The Capitals, on the other hand, are still clinging to slim playoff hopes.
