Penguins centre Evgeni Malkin practiced Saturday and is on the verge of returning to the lineup after missing the past two games with an apparent leg injury. The road back to the Stanley Cup final took two very different turns for the Penguins and Predators at the start of the second round. “If I’m playing, I’m ready to play,” Malkin said. If I play, if I’m ready, I’m ready first shift.”“Getting this squared up before we go to Winnipeg is definitely important,” said Watson, who felt great and called it a good practice. “We’ll do our best to take care of business.”The Penguins and Predators each took care of business in six games in the first round.
