Struggling with just 2 goals in 14 games, Patric Hornqvist has been dropped to the third line as the Penguins’ coaching staff explored different combinations in today’s practice. Hornqvist skated with Chris Kunitz and Nick Bonino.

As Pascal Dupuis returned to practice and appears fine after a health scare on Friday, Sidney Crosby centered Dupuis and Beau Bennett today.
