Penguins' Patric Hornqvist: Completes successful postseason

The solid postseason numbers for Hornqvist come on the heels of a fifth consecutive 40-plus point regular season. The constant net-front pest even led the team in power-play goals (15), thanks to his elite-level ability to tip shots past opposing netminders and bang home rebounds. With his inclusion on the No. 1 power-play unit all but guaranteed, the Swede should have no problem hitting the 20-goal and 40-point thresholds once again next year.

Penguins' Patric Hornqvist: Snags helper versus Washington

Hornqvist is averaging a point per game during the Pens' second-round series versus Washington, a pair of which were scored on the power play. In addition to his points, the winger has notched 11 shots, 10 hits and six blocks. Pittsburgh's top line -- Hornqvist, Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel -- has been nearly unstoppable in the postseason and will look to continue to put the pressure on the Caps heading into Games 5 and 6.

Penguins' Patric Hornqvist: Tallies power-play goal

Hornqvist scored doing what he does best, standing in front of the net awaiting a rebound. WIth the winger's marker, it looked like Pittsburgh was on its way to another come-from-behind victory, but it wasn't meant to be. The Swede has racked up nine points in seven postseason outings while averaging 18:07 of ice time. Looking ahead to Game 4, Hornqvist should continue to fill out the top line alongside Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel.

Penguins' Patric Hornqvist: Two points in Game 1 comeback

Hornqvist scored the first of three unanswered Pittsburgh goals 2:59 into the third period. His linemates Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel followed up at the 5:20 and 7:48 marks, respectively, turning a 2-0 deficit into a 3-2 advantage. The Swedish power forward seems to have put the upper-body injury that kept him out of Game 4 and Game 5 in the first round behind him.

Penguins' Patric Hornqvist: Three-point performance in Game 6

He returned from a two-game absence due to an upper-body injury and didn't miss a beat. Hornqvist finishes the series against the Flyers with two goals and six points, and with linemates Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel firing on all cylinders, the 31-year-old could be in line for an even bigger haul of points in the second round.
