Three Points From Patric Hornqvist Leads Rout of Red Wings
5 years agoPittsburgh Penguins forward Patric Hornqvist scored two goals and an assist in Sunday's 5-1 win over Detroit. His assist came on the power play, giving him only his fifth power-play point of the season, which is a steep decline from his typical production. Hornqvist was credited with a third goal during the game, but the NHL has since given the goal to linemate Sam Lafferty. With 26 points this year, Hornqvist appears to be declining, but his 53 point full season pace is actually an improvement over last season. Recently demoted to the fourth line at even strength, Hornqvist's fantasy value was set to take a dive, but his offensive explosion against Detroit shows how fantasy owners shouldn't write him off just yet, especially in leagues rewarding blocks and penalties.
