Penguins' Chris Kunitz: Takes advantage of power play

Kunitz found twine on the power play in Game 4 on Friday, but the Penguins fell short of the Lightning, 4-3.

Analysis:

Kunitz was held off of the scoresheet entirely against the Rangers in the conference quarterfinals, but he's taken off offensively ever since Game 5 of the semifinals, an eventual series win over the Capitals. Over that span, Kunitz has three goals and four points, including scores in the last two games against the Bolts. Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Phil Kessel are among the biggest stars on the team, but that only seems to take the pressure off Kunitz. His tendency to fly under the radar also makes him a fine budget play in daily fantasy formats.
