NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Penguins are pumping the brakes on Matt Hunwick’s return from a concussion.

Hunwick did not skate Saturday, coach Mike Sullivan said before the Penguins took on the Predators at Bridgestone Arena, and won’t again for a few days, this representing a different plan of attack by team doctors.

“[The medical staff] wants to take a little bit of a different approach to see if they can get him over the hump,” Sullivan said. “We’re going to keep him off the ice here for a few days, then we’ll re-evaluate daily on when we put him back on the ice.
