Andrei Kuzmenko Nears Return to Lineup for Pittsburgh Penguins

Pittsburgh Penguins winger Andrei Kuzmenko returned to practice on Monday, skating on a line alongside Ben Kindel and Ville Koivunen. Kuzmenko had missed the previous two games due to personal matters, but his line placement indicates he is closing in on a return for Tuesday's matchup against the Chicago Blackhawks. Pittsburgh enters the game seeking momentum after snapping a three-game losing streak with a 2-1 shootout win over Dallas on Saturday.
