by from on (#3MGSF)
Pittsburgh Penguins forward Derick Brassard is in the lineup for Game 1 against the Philadelphia Flyers after missing the previous five games of the regular season with a lower-body injury, the team announced.
He will center the third line between forwards Conor Sheary and Phil Kessel.
Brassard's return to the lineup is a big boost for the Penguins, as he has proven to be a solid playoff performer throughout his career. In 78 career playoff games, he has 22 goals and 55 points.
The 30-year-old finished the regular season with 21 goals and 46 points in 72 games with the Penguins and the Ottawa Senators.
