Status report
Crosby participated in the Penguins morning skate, but the center will miss his 10th straight game after being injured playing for Canada in the Olympics. … Brazeau also worked during the morning skate; the forward is week to week. … Malkin, a center, will serve the final game of a five-game suspension for a slash to the face of Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin on March 5. … The Mammoth assigned defenseman Maksymilian Szuber to Tucson of the American Hockey League on Saturday.
