Injuries force more Penguins changes
Evgeni Malkin and Kaedan Korczak are out with injuries.
Pittsburgh Penguins player Erik Karlsson scored a goal during a game against the Utah Mammoth on Thursday, Oct. 29, 2026. However, the team is facing changes on the roster due to injuries to key players Evgeni Malkin and Kaedan Korczak, who are sidelined with undisclosed injuries. Justin Brazeau, who was previously injured, has returned to full strength and will now play alongside Andrei Kuzmenko in Malkin's absence.
Brazeau had previously expressed his desire to bring a more physical game to the team, focusing on strong defensive play and scoring opportunities near the net. Coach Dan Muse is pleased with Brazeau's return and the flexibility it provides in creating the optimal lineup configuration amidst the ongoing roster adjustments.
