Penguins' Bonino returns to lineup vs. Avalanche

The Pittsburgh Penguins will welcome forward Nick Bonino back to the lineup Thursday against the Colorado Avalanche.

Bonino missed Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Wild with an illness, but is expected to be back on the team's third line between Chris Kunitz and Beau Bennett.

The 27-year-old has three goals and four points in 17 games this season.
