The Penguins have arrived in Winnipeg, but the team reports that center Evgeni Malkin and three other injured players did not make the two-game trip, which includes a game against the Jets on Monday and a game at Minnesota on Tuesday. The others who didn't travel are Sidney Crosby (concussion), Brooks Orpik (abdomen) and Dustin Jeffrey (knee). They have not played this season.

Don't expect to see any of these four players in the lineup over the next two road games. Through the team's first six games, they boast a league-best eight points.

Confirming the obvious: Penguins confirm that Crosby has been cleared for contact, but still no timetable for his return. This is next step

Crosby is cleared for contract which is excellent news for fantasy hockey owners and Pens fans. Keep in mind this news is the next step, and a step in the right direction. However, his return is still indefinite.
