Penguins' Patric Hornqvist: Ready to play Thursday

Hornqvist (lower body) is in the lineup for Thursday night's game in Boston.

Analysis:

Hornqvist will tough it out despite taking a shot off the knee during Tuesday night's game against St. Louis. He'll maintain his spot on Pittsburgh's second line with Scott Wilson and Jake Guentzel against the Bruins; the Swede scored against Boston when the teams last clashed Sunday.
