PENGUINS at FLYERS

Pittsburgh leads best-of-7 series 3-2
Winger Patric Hornqvist participated in full-contact practice with the team. He hopes to return to the lineup when the Pens face the Philadelphia Flyers at Wells Fargo Center on Sunday afternoon for Game 6 of their First Round matchup - which Pittsburgh leads 3-2.
"I felt good. It's nice to be back with the guys, skating around and getting bumped a little bit," Hornqvist said after practice. "Hopefully it keeps going well (Saturday) and I can play (Sunday)."
Hornqvist, who was ruled a "game-time decision" by head coach Mike Sullivan, has missed the past 2 games with an upper-body injury.
"Everybody has injuries. It's just part of the game," Hornqvist said. "It's not a great feeling to be out of the lineup and watching. I get so nervous."
