Hallander Back on Ice After Blood Clot Scare

Penguins forward Filip Hallander steps onto the rink for full-contact practice at UPMC Lemieux, his first team session since a puck-induced blood clot sidelined him for over three months back in November. The 25-year-old Swede, who earned SHL Forward of the Year honors before cracking Pittsburgh's lineup with four points in 13 games, sounds newly grateful for every shift after staring down a health crisis that shook his NHL dreams.
