BOSTON -- Center Evgeni Malkin, who has a bruised right foot, will not play in the Penguins' game against Boston tonight at the TD Garden.

Malkin was on the ice briefly at an optional game-day skate today, but quickly adjourned to the locker room and confirmed that he will sit out his second game in a row.

Marc-Andre Fleury, who allowed four goals on 13 shots during a 5-2 loss at New Jersey Wednesday night, will be back in goal for the Penguins this evening.

Enforcer Eric Godard, meanwhile, said after the skate that his status for tonight's game has not been determined.
