Penguins' Chris Kunitz: Filling familiar role

Kunitz collected his seventh goal of the season and registered three hits Tuesday against the Flames.

Analysis:

He's spending more and more time skating as Sidney Crosby's left winger. While he's lost some of his speed, the 37-year-old is intimately familiar with Crosby's game as a longtime linemate. Kunitz isn't the only option to skate with Crosby while Conor Sheary (upper body) mends, but he's looked surprisingly good in the last couple games.
