Penguins' Patric Hornqvist: Still out Friday

Hornqvist (concussion) will not play Friday against the Wild.

Analysis:

This will be the fifth straight game Hornqvist has missed due to the issue. Due to the quick turnaround, it would appear his availability for Saturday's game back home against New Jersey is very much in doubt, as well -- especially since the Penguins have three days off after that. Concussions can be one of the trickiest injuries to pin down from a return-date standpoint, so owners will want to pay close attention to the Swede's status in the coming days.
