Patric Hornqvist Autographed Card

Patric Hörnqvist was a game-time decision to suit up for the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 3 of their series against the Washington Capitals tonight, and perhaps he should have sat it out, considering he laid the game's most devastating hit... on teammate Conor Sheary.

Sitting out may also be something Pens captain Sidney Crosby might want to do for Game 4, given his past concussion issues, after accidentally getting hit by former teammate Matt Niskanen:

The Pens' injuries were already an issue in the 2017 Playoffs, but losing Crosby after Kris Letang and Matt Murray might be the final nail in their coffin.

Here's Hörnqvist from his days with the Nashville Predators, on card #40 from Upper Deck's 2008-09 Rookie Class set:
