According to Penguins coach Mike Sullivan, all three are day-to-day with upper-body injuries.

Rust and Schultz were injured in Game 2 on Monday, while Hornqvist sat out that game.

Rust left the game when he was hammered by Senators defenseman Dion Phaneuf. Rust was dazed and continues to be evaluated, per Sullivan.

Schultz left after slamming into the boards awkwardly after being hit by Senators forward Mike Hoffman. His injury is believed to be a shoulder.

Penguins defenseman Trevor Daley is also out after missing the past four games. He has not played since he was injured against the Washington Capitals in Game 5 of the second round.

"Trevor's making progress," Sullivan said. "He is skating on his own right now and making progress, so that's encouraging."
