Chris Kunitz: Out Saturday

Contrary to earlier reports that indicated he would play, Kunitz (lower body) is not in the lineup Saturday against Vancouver.

Analysis:

The Penguins must have had a last-minute change of heart, as Kunitz was fully expected to suit up for Saturday's contest until he was announced as a scratch just a few moments before puck drop. Pittsburgh's matchup with the Capitals on Sunday has been postponed, so Kunitz' next chance to return to action won't come until Tuesday against New Jersey.
