PITTSBURGH -- Penguins center Evgeni Malkin missed Tuesday's home game against the Columbus Blue Jackets with an upper-body injury.

The team announced before the game that Malkin is considered day-to-day. Malkin participated in Tuesday's morning skate, but not the pregame warmup.

Veteran forward Anthony Beauvillier drew into the Pittsburgh lineup for coach Mike Sullivan, replacing Malkin. Beauvillier had nine goals and 12 points leading into the game.

It's the first time the 38-year-old Malkin has missed a game since the 2021-22 season, a streak of 209 games, which was the 12th-longest in team history.

Malkin, who scored his 500th goal and 1,300th NHL point earlier this season, has eight goals and 32 points in 41 games played.
