Pittsburgh Penguins
Sidney Crosby tied a career high with five assists, and Chris Kunitz posted his second hat trick of the season as the Penguins rocked the New York Islanders 6-1 on Sunday night for their fifth straight win.
Kunitz now has 10 goals and six assists in his last eight games. He posted a career high 61 points in 82 games last season and is on pace for 66 points in 48 games this season. As long as he is playing with Crosby he is an elite fantasy option.

Kunitz-Malkin-Neal
Kunitz moves up to the top line with injuries to both Sidney Crosby and Jordan Staal. This promotion could give him a boost in fantasy hockey.

Kunitz and Letang in the lineup tonight.
Both players are banged up but they still will play today. If you own either player, keep them in your lineup.

Looks like Kunitz has bit the dust on the power play.
Kunitz moves off the top PP unit in favor of Crosby. He could get some minutes on the second PP unit but don't expect that line to play all that much.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have re-signed forward Chris Kunitz to a two-year contract extension, it was announced today by executive vice president and general manager Ray Shero.
Kunitz's contract is affordable and extends a solid scoring winger for a team heavy on centers (when healthy). Look for his usual 20-25 goals and for the veteran to miss a few games due to various injuries.

Chris Kunitz PIT L 3 0 0 0 +0
At 3 games played and no points on any of the 9 Pens' goals, Kunitz is opening the season a little slower than we would prefer.
