Pittsburgh Penguins forward Chris Kunitz should play in Game 2 if all goes well.

The 36-year-old took a puck to the ear in Game 1 against the Washington Capitals, but according to head coach Mike Sullivan, he should be fine.

"Chris Kunitz would be day to day," said Sullivan. "Hopefully Chris will be okay. We think he will be."

Kunitz has spent time on the club's third line and has managed just one assist in six games this postseason.
