Penguins' Chris Kunitz: Playing with edge lately

Kunitz was aggressive in Friday's 6-4 home win over the Devils, doling out two PIM and six hits.

Analysis:

A loyalist to the Penguins having been with the club since 2009-10, Kunitz has only cracked the box score once in nine March contests, though he's done a fine job knocking opponents off the puck with back-to-back outings of six body checks. He has 28 points in 64 games and needs to go on an absolute tear to match the 40 combined goals and assists he had in each of the past two seasons, but the slide in scoring makes sense given that he's receiving the least amount of ice time (15:13) he's ever had with Pittsburgh.
