PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) - It appears Evgeni Malkin is feeling better and will rejoin the team Saturday.

The Penguins re-assigned forward Joe Blandisi back to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins Friday morning.

The 25-year-old Blandisi skated in his 12th game Thursday night and had one shot in the Pens 1-0 overtime win against Columbus.

Malkin missed the Blue Jackets game due to illness.

Blandisi has three points for the Penguins this season including two assists and a game-winning goal against the Wild on October 12. 

The Penguins wrap-up their three-game homestand Saturday at 7 p.m. against the L.A. Kings.
