The Pittsburgh Penguins will be without center Evgeni Malkin tonight against the Florida Panthers with what the team calls an "upper-body injury."

But further examination from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reveals that Malkin may having been sitting in the Florida sun too long saying that it looks like Malkin may have a severe sunburn. The reports also says that Malkin looked fine during this morning's practice.
