Mantha's Shoulder Tap Precedes Malkin's Apparent Injury

Anthony Mantha was noted for a "seemingly light shoulder tap" on Evgeni Malkin while Malkin was on the bench Sunday night. This interaction preceded Malkin appearing to be in pain, raising concerns about his status. The incident is part of a broader update on Penguins' injuries ahead of the Olympic break, though Mantha's role was limited to this specific interaction.
