Penguins' Patric Hornqvist: Tallies power-play goal in win

The goal is Hornqvist's first since March 1 and gives the veteran 17 for the year. He's up to 33 points through 58 games, needing seven more to produce a sixth straight season with 40-plus points.

Penguins' Patric Hornqvist: Registers assist in win

Hornqvist's 16th assist of the year helped to open the scoring, as Nick Bjugstad promptly sent the puck past Jaroslav Halak just 1:33 into the game. Hornqvist added added three shots and two hits in the victory. He's at 32 points in 56 games this season, to go with 124 hits and 146 shots. The physical winger will likely reach 40 points if he stays healthy, a feat he's accomplished in eight of his first 10 seasons -- only failing to do so in his rookie campaign and the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season.

Penguins' Patric Hornqvist: Picks up power-play helper

Hornqvist won't get the same accolades as some of his All-Star teammates, but he quietly is continuing to produce for the Pens with five points in his last six contests, including three on the power play. The winger's gritty style of play and net-front presence with the man advantage make him a critical aspect to Pittsburgh's recent Stanley Cup titles. Still, the Swede will need to stay hot if he is going to reach the 40-point mark for the sixth straight season.

Hornqvist has clearly bounced back from his 14-game pointless streak, as he has tallied one goal and three helpers in his last five outings. The Swedish winger seems to be working well with Nick Bjugstad in a third-line role and figures to remain a mainstay on the Pens' top power-play unit.

Penguins' Patric Hornqvist: Earns helper in win

Hornqvist remains bogged down in a 17-game goal drought, but has garnered a helper in each of his last two outings. It could be the spark the Swedish winger needs to start finding the back of the net, not to mentioned being bumped up to the top line with Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel.
