Broz Joins Koivunen on Penguins' Third Line in Practice

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Tristan Broz skated on the third line with Ville Koivunen and Tommy Novak during Tuesday's practice. Koivunen, nearing a return from a lower-body injury, expressed excitement about playing with Broz again, stating, "It's a lot of fun to play with him. Of course, we played a lot together last year, so he's a great player. He's great with the puck. He can win some battles, too." Their prior experience as teammates in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton suggests a familiar dynamic as Koivunen integrates back into the lineup.
