Kunitz (foot) will likely return to the lineup Saturday against Florida, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

Analysis:

Pens coach Mike Johnston said Friday that Kunitz is a game-time decision but added he's "really close right now." The forward, who's scored nine goals and 20 points in 23 games, was paired with Evgeni Malkin prior to getting hurt. Johnston has yet to reveal whether Kunitz will skate with Malkin or Sidney Crosby upon his return.
