Chris Kunitz suffered a lower-body injury in Thursday's game against Philadelphia

Kunitz suffered a lower-body injury in Thursday's game against Philadelphia, and will be a game-time decision for Saturday's matchup with the Canucks as a result.

Analysis:

Kunitz suffered the lower-body injury in Thursday's tilt when he collided with Philadelphia's Claude Giroux and fell awkwardly into the boards. If he's unable to go Saturday, Sergie Plotnikov will likely slot into the Penguins' lineup in his absence. Expect an update on Kunitz' status following Saturday's morning skate.
