Hornqvist (upper body) will not play Thursday against Ottawa, despite taking line rushes.

EDGE Analysis

All signs pointed to Hornqvist playing Game 7 after having a fiery warmups, but he'll watch from the sidelines yet again. It is unclear whether this was a true game-time decision, or simply a bluff by the Penguins. Nevertheless, he won't be on the ice, and his next chance to return will only be if the Pittsburgh advances to the Stanley Cup Finals.
