Chris Kunitz joined Jarome Iginla and Evgeni Malkin on Pittsburgh's top line during Monday's practice. "We immediately had some comfort level putting Chris on that line with Geno," coach Dan Bylsma said. "That's what we'll definitely be seeing going forward, starting in Carolina." James Neal is out with a concussion and Sidney Crosby is sidelined with broken jaw, so the decision to move Kunitz up wasn't a difficult one to make. He has amassed 20 goals and 46 points in 39 contests this season.
