Pascal Dupuis netted two goals Sunday to give him 11 on the year.
He is currently riding a three-game point streak with four markers and one assist over that time. If the 2012-13 season wasn't shortened by a lockout then Dupuis would be on pace to pass his career-high of 25 goals which he scored last year. He has enjoyed his team with red-hot sniper Chris Kunitz and Sidney Crosby this campaign.

Pascal Dupuis can become an unrestricted free agent this summer, but he would prefer to stay in Pittsburgh.
He enjoyed a breakout year in 2011-12 and is playing well again this campaign alongside Sidney Crosby. "Now is the time to play hockey, said Dupuis' agent Allan Walsh. "The business side is a discussion better suited for the off-season. That being said, if Pittsburgh has something to say, we would always be open to listening." He'll turn 34 in April and is currently making $1.5 million.

Pascal Dupuis is playing well this season on the top line with Sidney Crosby.
It's a situation that has worked out in the past and makes Dupuis, who had a goal Sunday, worth rostering in fantasy leagues. In 16 games, the 33-year-old has seven goals and 12 points. It helps to play with superstars as they draw most of the attention. Dupuis is coming off a career-high 59-point season. "We did it when Sid was healthy a few years ago," Dupuis said. "It seems like we're clicking again."

Pascal Dupuis scored a late goal for Pittsburgh in a 4-1 loss to the Islanders Tuesday.
Dupuis finished off a passing play set up by Sidney Crosby late in the third period to break up Evgeni Nabokov's shutout, but the marker provided little impact otherwise. For as long as he lines up alongside Crosby, Dupuis should offer some value in fantasy leagues.

Despite having shown an interest in returning to Switzerland, Pascal Dupuis has no immediate plans to play overseas during the lockout.
Dupuis has been taking advantage of the time away by spending time with his wife and four children. The veteran winger has been working hard to stay in game shape during the work stoppage and feels he'll be ready to go once the season eventually begins. "I work out even harder when I don't play," said Dupuis. "I'm one of those guys -- if you ask my wife, she'll tell you I'm crazy -- who is really strict when it comes down to food and exercising. For me, it doesn't change."

Pascal Dupuis said he is open to playing in Switzerland again after he played some games there during the 2004-05 lockout.
Spots on European teams have been shrinking as the NHL work stoppage gets longer, as more players start to head overseas, so he may have to act quickly. Dupuis enjoyed a career-year offensively in 2011-12 with 25 goals and 59 points in 82 games.

Pascal Dupuis and the Pittsburgh Penguins are still confident that they can turn their quarterfinal series against Philadelphia around despite being down 3-0.
"It won't end like this. It can't," he said. "We're too proud." The Penguins have squandered leads and lost their composure against the Flyers in this series and it will be extremely tough for them to battle back, but this has been an odd playoffs so far so it isn't completely out of the realm of possibility. Dupuis failed to record a point for the first time in 20 games in Sunday's Game 3 defeat. He carried over a 17-game scoring streak from the regular season and had points (one goal, three assists) in the first two games of the playoffs prior to seeing his spree end.
