Malinski logged two assists, three shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Devils.
This was Malinski's first multi-point effort of the year. He's picked up three helpers over his last two contests, and he's doing that with next to nothing in terms of power-play ice time. The defenseman has five helpers, 14 shots on net, 19 blocked shots, nine hits and a plus-9 rating across 12 appearances this season.

Malinski notched an assist, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Stars.
Malinski was scratched last Thursday in Calgary due to a poor start to the season. The 28-year-old defenseman has since returned to his top-four role, and he got his first point of the season in Wednesday's contest. He's added eight shots on net, seven blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over six appearances. Malinski is not currently a factor on the power play, which will limit his appeal in fantasy.

Malinksi (upper body) is expected back in the lineup for Game 1 against Vegas on Wednesday, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.
Malinski sat out the final two contests of Colorado's second-round series against the Wild. In seven appearances this postseason, the 27-year-old has one goal, two assists, 14 shots, 14 blocks and seven hits. With Malinski back in the lineup and Cale Makar (undisclosed) unavailable, Jack Ahcan will remain in the lineup.

Malinski (upper body) participated fully in Sunday's practice and is trending toward being ready for Game 1 against Vegas on Wednesday, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.
Following a two-game absence, Malinski could be ready for the beginning of the Western Conference Finals. He has registered one goal, two assists, 14 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and seven hits in seven appearances this postseason.

Malinski (upper body) will not be an option for Game 5 versus Minnesota on Wednesday, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.
Malinski continues to be classified as day-to-day ahead of his second straight absence due to his upper-body problem. With the blueliner on the shelf, Jack Ahcan figures to continue filling a bottom-pairing role alongside Josh Manson. Once cleared to play, Malinski should reclaim his spot in the lineup.

Malinski (upper body) was deemed day-to-day ahead of Game 5 against the Wild on Wednesday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
Malinski has already missed one game due to his upper-body problem but is now in danger of missing another. In seven postseason contests this year, the 27-year-old defenseman has generated one goal, two assists and 14 shots while averaging 19:59 of ice time.
