Chris Kunitz scored a goal in Pittsburgh's 3-1 win on Tuesday.
It was Kunitz's first point since the Olympics. We wouldn't be too concerned about the mini-slump that he just ended. Barring an injury, he should finish the campaign on a strong note.

Chris Kunitz scored his first goal of the Olympics on Sunday.
There were a lot of complaints when Kunitz was named to the Canadian team but he picked the top corner using Swedish defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson as a screen, to beat Henrik Lundqvist who had no chance. The goal put the game away for Canada who took a 3-0 lead on the goal and that would be the final score.

Chris Kunitz ended up being dropped to Canada's fourth line in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over Finland.
He shared time on the fourth unit with John Tavares, Rick Nash and Patrick Sharp. "I think Kunitz did real good where he was," Canada coach Mike Babcock said referring to Kunitz's work alongside Pittsburgh linemate Sidney Crosby. "But to me, this wasn't about Kunitz. It was about our overall team and just trying to find things that work." He has no points and four shots in three Olympic contests so far.
