Penguins goaltender Casey DeSmith rejoined his team for practice Wednesday in Cranberry.
He had been sidelined since May 3 after he suffered an undisclosed injury during a 7-2 road loss to the Philadelphia Flyers.
While DeSmith and forward Evgeni Malkin did participate in practice, neither player took part in a scrimmage session. Coach Mike Sullivan labeled their absence from the scrimmages as a “coach’s decision.”
Malkin recently missed 23 games because of a presumed knee injury.
