"Penguins left winger Chris Kunitz missed practice Monday after getting "banged up" Saturday at Buffalo and is day to day, coach Dan Bylsma said.

Center Sidney Crosby might get a top-notch replacement for Kunitz on the team's top line when the Penguins play tonight at Philadelphia -- Evgeni Malkin.

Malkin, who has missed the past four games because of a sore knee, practiced with Crosby and Pascal Dupuis, taking part in all drills and skating hard.

"We'll see [today] at the morning skate," Malkin said. "I feel pretty good. ... It's not sore at all."
