The Penguins host the Nashville Predators tonight at the Console Energy Center.  WBVP-WMBA air time is 6:30.  There was an Evgeni Malkin on Wednesday.  He skated on his own before practice. Coach Mike Sullivan says this does not change the prognosis of six to eight weeks on the shelf.  The Penguins named Bryan Rust as the teams rookie of the year.  He suffered an unspecified injury on Tuesday.  He will miss tonights game. For the first time since the 1969-70 season, there will be no Canadian teams in the upcoming playoffs
