    Sidney Crosby is out with a concussion. His return date is unknown. Mark Letestu has a meniscus injury. He's out four to six weeks.

    Now, Evgeni Malkin -- who had just returned from a five-game absence -- has joined the list. And from the looks of it, he won't be getting off it anytime soon.

    According to coach Dan Bylsma, Malkin -- the All-Star center who has 15 goals and 22 assists this season -- has two torn ligaments in his right knee, and it's not clear if he'll need surgery.

    Brutal, I hope this doesn't fuck up his career too much.
