Penguins’ Hornqvist: ‘Going to be a hell of a ride’

CRANBERRY, Pa. -- Patric Hornqvist joined his teammates for a full practice at the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex on Wednesday for the first time in over four months.

Hornqvist was one of the nine players held out since the start of training camp out of an abundance of caution due to possible secondary exposure to someone with coronavirus.

Hornqvist and the eight other players were cleared to rejoin the team on Tuesday, but with Tuesday being a scrimmage day, and Mike Sullivan wanting to give the players a day of skating before jumping into the scrimmage, the nine players skated on their own on the second rink at the Lemieux Complex.
