Penguins' Chris Kunitz: Finds net again Thursday

Kunitz scored his ninth goal of the season in Thursday's win over Winnipeg.

Analysis:

The left winger is rekindling his youth skating next to Sidney Crosby -- he's netted three goals in the last five games. It's fitting that Crosby recorded his 1,000th point on Kunitz's goal, given that the two have paired together for many years. Kunitz will likely reprise his role as a bottom-six winger when Conor Sheary (upper body) returns, but he's turning back the clock with Crosby for now.
