Some good news today from the Penguins first on-ice practice in preparation for the series against the Philadelphia Flyers - Derick Brassard was back as a normal participant.
Brassard was starting to fit in with the Pens before injuring his groin during a game against Detroit on March 27th. Prior to that game, the center was on a six game point streak (2g+4a) and really finding his way with the club that acquired him in February from Ottawa.
This return is great news for the Penguins who are at virtually full strength entering the playoffs.
