Hornqvist a game-time decision vs. Ducks

Patric Hornqvist will be a game-time decision for the Penguins' game against the Ducks at PPG Paints arena on Thursday at 7:08 p.m, Mike Sullivan announced after the optional morning skate.

Hornqvist sustained a lower-body injury when he was struck by a Kris Letang shot in the first period of Tuesday's loss to the Jets. After Wednesday's practice, Sullivan said Hornqvist's status was "day-to-day."

Hornqvist was a full participant in the Penguins' brief morning skate on Thursday, and appeared to be skating fine, although given it was an optional skate, the Penguins didn't run any lines or special teams work or anything physically taxing otherwise.
