Penguins C Malkin tears 2 knee ligaments

PITTSBURGH

The injury news just keeps getting worse for the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Evgeni Malkin — who had just returned from a five-game absence — has a major knee injury, coach Dan Bylsma said Saturday. And from the looks of it, the star forward won’t be back anytime soon.

Sidney Crosby is already out with a concussion, and his return date is unknown. Mark Letestu has a meniscus injury. He’s out four to six weeks. According to Bylsma, Malkin, the All-Star center who has 15 goals and 22 assists this season, has two torn ligaments in his right knee.

Gainey, Wilson lead frosty Phoenix Open

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.

Slugger White only had to look at the temperature gauge in his car to know that a Monday finish was inevitable in the Phoenix Open.

“It’s been in the 20s, 25 every morning in my car,” said White, the PGA Tour’s vice president of rules.

Because of frost and frozen greens, 7 hours, 24 minutes of anticipated playing time was lost Thursday and Friday — after the pro-am and all course activity were wiped out Wednesday at TPC Scottsdale.

The second round resumed Saturday in 46-degree conditions, the first time in three days the frost-delayed event has started on schedule.
