Penguins star Evgeni Malkin lost the second half of last season to a knee injury and he's ready for a fresh start. Before the injury, Malkin suffered a huge drop-off in production from the 2008-09 season to the 2009-10 campaign. "I'm looking at a bounce-back year from him because he's got something to prove," Pittsburgh general manager Ray Shero said. "He took responsibility [in the past]. He likes that. He's a leader in the way he plays. He needs to get back to that level." Malkin said his knee is about 90 percent and was on the ice Saturday for the team's first on-ice session of training camp. "Of course, every player wants to play 100 percent and play [his] best game, but it's hockey. Some days you play good, some days not as good, but I'm not worried about this. I'm just focused on my game," he said.
