Penguins' Chris Kunitz: Physical play continues Saturday

Kunitz, who tallied an assist in Saturday's 3-2 win, registered seven hits and compiled a plus-2 rating against the Ducks.

Analysis:

The 37-year-old finished sixth in the NHL with 264 hits last year and already has 14 hits through two games. Kunitz has switched between centers in the early going, skating with both Matt Cullen and Evgeni Malkin. He's expected to settle into a third-line role but figures to move back and forth depending on matchups and game conditions.
