Penguins' Justin Schultz: Sticks on top PP unit Monday

Schultz played the point on Pittsburgh's top power-play unit and skated as part of the second defensive pairing with Ian Cole during Monday's practice.

Analysis:

Schultz's biggest attribute may be his willingness to shoot the puck -- he's attempted 29 shots in six games. While his role will decrease whenever Kris Letang (upper body) returns, he's playing better than some of his competition, such as Olli Maatta. He could provide a nice return for fantasy owners, but he'll have to see better results. Schultz has recorded only one power-play assist.
