Penguins' Patric Hornqvist: Absent from morning skate

Hornqvist (concussion) was not on the ice for morning skate Monday.

Analysis:

There's no indication that he has progressed any further in the concussion protocol, suggesting he will miss his fourth consecutive game Monday due to the issue. The star winger was sent back to Pittsburgh prior to the team's contest against the Jets last Wednesday, so it wouldn't be surprising if the winger remains unavailable through the conclusion of the team's five-game road trip Wednesday against the Flyers. However, with Philadelphia just a short trip away, he could return for that contest if cleared.
