Jarome Iginla has embraced his new role with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

"It's not to say I didn't enjoy it back then," he said referring to his leadership role with the Calgary Flames. "I'm just enjoying what comes. Playing. When you're captain, there's more responsibility. You're thinking 'How's this guy feeling?', 'Where's the coach at?' Most of my focus is on just playing now, on myself, on being ready. And, yeah, that is a nice change." He's still thrilled to be back in the playoffs, where he has 10 points in nine games, and said he has no plans to retire in the off-season. Iginla is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent this July if an extension isn't reached with the Penguins.

Penguins' coach Dan Bylsma's line shuffling in Game 5 was very successful and as a result the teams' forward units could remain the same as they ended up Thursday night.

That would mean Jarome Iginla would play alongside Sidney Crosby and Pascal Dupuis, while Chris Kunitz would line up with Evgeni Malkin and James Neal. Brandon Sutter, Matt Cooke and either Brenden Morrow or Tyler Kennedy will make up the team's third line, while some combination of Jussi Jokinen, Tanner Glass, Joe Vitale and Kennedy will make up the fourth unit. Adjust your rosters accordingly.

Jarome Iginla doesn't mind playing left wing anymore.

"Left feels good now," Iginla said. "When I first got here, whatever position you put me at [I] wasn't feeling comfortable. You know, had lots going through my mind and pretty anxious, I guess, when I first got here. Maybe that's why I looked so uncomfortable on the left." He feels more comfortable now in the team's system, so it doesn't matter whether he plays on the right or the left. Iginla has produced a goal and six assists in four games against the Islanders in the postseason.

Jarome Iginla enjoyed a productive return to the postseason in Game 1 against the New York Islanders.

He collected two assists, 10 penalty minutes, two shots and a plus-1 rating in 14:45 of ice time in his first playoff appearance since 2009. Iginla set up a power-play strike by Kris Letang and he earned a helper on a first-period goal by Pascal Dupuis. His 10-minute misconduct penalty occurred late in the match after Marty Reasoner was ejected for a kneeing major on Jussi Jokinen.
