Penguins' Chris Kunitz: Returns to lineup Saturday

Kunitz (lower body) took the ice for pregame warmups and will play Saturday against the Red Wings.

Analysis:

Kunitz missed the team's last six games as he nursed an ailment to his lower body but it appears he's set to return to NHL action. The 37-year-old left winger tallied nine points in the 11 games prior to his injury. He'll join a line with Evgeni Malkin and Phil Kessel against the Red Wings' 14th-ranked defense (2.54 GA/GP).
