The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is reporting that Marian Hossa will return to practice when the Penguins take the ice on Saturday. They also expect him to play on Sunday when the Penguins host the New York Rangers.

This is very good news for the Penguins. Not only does it allow Hossa to stay in playing shape for the playoffs, but it also means that he will get more playing time with Sidney Crosby. The more comfortable the two become with each other, the more the Penguins can expect from their line. The two will have four games to get to know each others tendencies before the playoffs begin.
