Morrow goals lift Pens, 3-1

SUNRISE, Fla. — No matter how many injured players they are missing, the Pittsburgh Penguins keep on winning.

Brenden Morrow scored two goals to lift the Penguins to a 3-1 victory over the Florida Panthers on Saturday.

Kris Letang also scored for Pittsburgh and Marc-Andre Fleury made 25 saves. Morrow also had an assist and Beau Bennett had two assists.

Pittsburgh center Evgeni Malkin missed the game with an upper body injury. The Penguins were also without Sidney Crosby, who is out indefinitely with a broken jaw.

It’s unclear how long Malkin might be out of the lineup.

“He’s day-to-day with an upper body, re-aggravated and just dealing with a nagging injury and wasn’t able to go tonight because of that,” Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said.

Penguins defenseman Paul Martin and forward James Neal have also missed the past several games.

“It hasn’t been our plan, but we’re finding ways,” Morrow said. “Each game somebody is stepping up and it’s feeling really good.”
