Kunitz is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite getting bumped down to the Penguins' second line, Kunitz is quietly compiling stats as he has garnered two goals, six helpers, and 54 hits while averaging 16:11 of ice time per night. The team did not provide a timeline for how long the winger might be out and have not ruled him out Friday against the Islanders. If Kunitz is unable to give it a go, Pittsburgh may decide to keep Tom Sestito on the 23-man roster if he clears waivers rather than bringing in a replacement from the minors.
