Hornqvist (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Tuesday, indicating he'll be ready to play later in the evening against the Jets, Seth Rorabaugh of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

Analysis:

Hornqvist was back on the ice for Monday's full practice for the first time since sustaining his lower-body injury in late December. While the winger described himself as a game-time decision following the Pens' morning skate Tuesday, his participation in both regular line work and power-play drills -- along with the demotions of Bryan Rust and Scott Wilson to the minors -- suggests that he'll be available. The 28-year-old, who has 29 points and a plus-12 rating in 33 games, is expected to join Beau Bennett and Brandon Sutter on the Pens' second trio.
