Penguins' Patric Hornqvist: Probable against Lightning

Hornqvist (hand) should be available for Friday's Game 4 matchup with Tampa Bay, Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Analysis:

Hornqvist missed the final period of Game 3 after blocking a shot with his hand. Coach Mike Sullivan told reporters the winger was still being evaluated but expected him to be ready to go. The gritty 29-year-old has been essential to the Pens success due to his willingness to get to the front of the net and battle for pucks.
