Matt Hunwick returned to practice for the Penguins Wednesday
Penguins defenseman Matt Hunwick returned to practice with the team Wednesday, and was optimistic he is finally close to returning from a concussion that has kept him out for the last month.
Coach Mike Sullivan said Hunwick was “making progress” and that his return to practice was a “significant step.” Hunwick will join the team on its trip to Ottawa Thursday. “I think these things are always difficult, not knowing what, exactly, the timetable’s going to be,” Hunwick said. “At least that’s behind me now. I’m going to be happy with today’s workload and we’ll see how it goes later on.”
