Penguins center Evegni Malkin did not practice at Southpointe today, but coach Dan Bylsma said afterward that Malkin remains "day to day" and is traveling with the club to New Jersey, where it plays Wednesday night.

Malkin left Sunday's game at Tampa Bay after taking a shot off of his right foot. X-rays revealed there is no fracture.

Forwards Sidney Crosby and Eric Godard practiced.

Crosby, the team's leading scorer, missed only a few minutes Sunday after his right leg twisted awkwardly as he was pulled down by Tampa's Steve Downie.

"I feel good," Crosby said after practice. "It's a little sore. I consider myself pretty lucky."

Godard, the team's enforcer, practiced for the first time since he got a groin injury Jan. 25.

"He's close," Bylsma said. "He's day to day, too."
