Penguins Evgeni Malkin Injured Internet Sports Betting. Internet sport betting odds could be affected by the injury suffered by Pittsburgh’s Evgeni Malkin. The Penguins have been rolling along this season in offshore sports betting but that could change without last year’s NHL scoring leader.
Internet sport betting has Malkin missing the next two to three week with a strained right shoulder. He had been trying to play with the injury but the team has decided he needs rest. If he is out two weeks he would miss seven games in Internet sport betting. If he misses three weeks he is likely to miss 10 of the Penguins offshore sports betting hockey contests.
Just how important is Malkin to the Penguins? He is tied for the team scoring lead with Sidney Crosby with 14 points. He has four goals and 12 assists in Pittsburgh’s 12 games. He was the MVP of last year’s playoffs as the Penguins won the Stanley Cup. His absence should not be ignored as you look at Pittsburgh in Internet sport betting.
The good news for Pittsburgh is that the injury to Malkin is not a big one.
“Geno is going to be out of the lineup for a couple of weeks,” head coach Dan Bylsma said. “He strained his shoulder about 10 days or so ago. I don’t know the exact day. It is precautionary for the player. We are worried about the safety of the shoulder. A couple weeks of rest and rehab will get that thing healthy so he can get back onto the ice.”
Malkin had been in the lineup for 254 consecutive regular-season games as offshore sports betting stats showed. He said he could have played through the injury. “I can play good, but it’s the early season,” Malkin said. “I feel good. It’s not a big problem, and I’m fine. I’ll be watching and supporting the team on the trip. It’ll be fine. It’s okay. It’s not the pain. It feels good. It’s because it doesn’t feel comfortable now.”
How does the Internet sport betting schedule set up for the Penguins over the next few weeks? They are at Columbus on Friday in an offshore sports betting game that should be close while they host Minnesota on Saturday in an Internet sport betting game they should win. They then head out on the road where they face tough Internet sport betting games against Anaheim, Los Angles and San Jose. It is on that road trip where the loss of Malkin may really be felt.
