NEW YORK -- Ryan Poehling had a big smile across his face in the locker room Thursday following the Penguins' morning skate here at Madison Square Garden ahead of their 7:08 p.m. matchup with the Rangers.
Poehling -- finally -- is healthy and will make his return to the lineup Thursday night.
Poehling skated on the left side of the Penguins' fourth line in the morning skate, replacing Danton Heinen on a line with Jeff Carter and Josh Archibald.
"It's exciting," Poehling said. "It's been a long time, so I'm just looking forward to getting back on track.
