Kunitz continued his offensive onslaught Monday, scoring one goal while assisting on another in a 6-2 victory over Anaheim.

EDGE Analysis

He's scored five goals and seven assists in his last nine contests, participating with Sidney Crosby in the team's offensive surge. Kunitz has also registered a plus-13 rating in those same nine games. The 36-year-old has no business scoring at a rate typically reserved for elite performers, but his resurgence needs to play itself out. He's riding Crosby's coattails better than he has in years.

Kunitz compiled his third straight multipoint effort with a pair of assists and was elevated to the team's top power-play unit Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The left winger replaced Evgeni Malkin on the man advantage, giving Pittsburgh two players (Kunitz and Patric Hornqvist) camped out in front of the net. Kunitz has scored four goals and 10 points in his last seven games.

Kunitz registered his ninth goal and added a pair of assists in a 6-5 victory over Ottawa on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

He entered Tuesday as a game-time decision and left with his biggest game of 2015-16. Kunitz finished with three hits and a plus-3 rating, showing no effects of the lower-body injury which limited him to one skate in the last week (prior to Tuesday). He's scored eight points (4G, 4A) in his last six contests but keep in mind he had only two points in the previous 13.

Kunitz (lower body) will play against Ottawa on Tuesday, Root Sports in Pittsburgh reports.

EDGE Analysis

He'll take his customary spot at left wing on Sidney Crosby's line. Kunitz has three goals and five points in his last five games and makes for a decent play against the Senators.

Pens coach Mike Sullivan reiterated after Tuesday's morning skate that Kunitz (lower body) will be a game-time decision against Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

Kunitz, who didn't skate for more than a week prior to Monday's practice, is still not completely healthy. "I was definitely not at 100 percent, I thought I was going to be all right," he said of his Jan. 23 scratch. "And then I went out, and I was really limited in doing certain things." Kunitz has scored three goals and five points in his last five games.

Kunitz (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's tilt versus the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

The reason for Kunitz's absence over the past few games has been a bit of a mystery, and his status remains a bit unclear despite the fact that he participated in practice Monday. Still, the team should provide another update confirming his status at some point between Tuesday's morning skate and the evening's game against the Senators.

Kunitz (lower body) will not play Tuesday against New Jersey.

EDGE Analysis

Pens coach Mike Sulivan didn't go into detail about why Kunitz will miss his third straight game, but the winger will now get the remainder of All-Star Week off to rest his lower-body ailment. Matt Cullen replaced Kunitz on Sidney Crosby's left wing in practice, but Conor Sheary could also see time on the No. 1 line.

Kunitz (lower body) is considered a game-time call for Tuesday's game against the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Kunitz received some much needed rest with the scheduled game Sunday postponed due to the snow storm on the east coast, but it appears his status remains a bit murky. Another night of rest should give the Penguins a better idea of his health, so expect another update on his status between morning skate (if they have it) and the evening's game.

Contrary to earlier reports that indicated he would play, Kunitz (lower body) is not in the lineup Saturday against Vancouver.

EDGE Analysis

The Penguins must have had a last-minute change of heart, as Kunitz was fully expected to suit up for Saturday's contest until he was announced as a scratch just a few moments before puck drop. Pittsburgh's matchup with the Capitals on Sunday has been postponed, so Kunitz' next chance to return to action won't come until Tuesday against New Jersey.

Kunitz (lower body) will play Saturday afternoon against the Canucks, Seth Rorabaugh of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kunitz collided with Flyers star Claude Giroux on Thursday, awkwardly crashing into the boards. However, barring a setback, it won't cost him any games. Kunitz is the team leader at left wing in points with eight goals and 10 assists. Kunitz also has a plus-13 rating which is the best of any Penguins forward.
