Chris Kunitz day-to-day with injury

Just when the tide was ebbing to almost full strength of health, it crests with the news that forward Chris Kunitz did not practice today.

Head coach Dan Bylsma updated the status for Chris Kunitz. The Penguins winger left the team's 4-3 overtime win over Atlanta on Saturday and did not return. He did not practice Monday and is listed as day-to-day with an undisclosed injury.

Not the most informative of updates, but hey it's the Penguins and there's one week left of the regular season, what do you expect?  No word if Kunitz will miss any time, however it's probably a good bet that he will not be in uniform tomorrow night for the big game against the Washington Capitals.

Hopefully, whatever is the latest to ail Kunitz (who's been injured for 28 games this season) it'll be something to heal quickly so that he can be ready to go for the post-season.  We'll keep an eye on it, if any news breaks check in here or throw up a fanpost and we'll debate.

I saw the hit that knocked him out. However, it came after Kunny made a pretty long pass so the camera cut away pretty quickly. He got hit up high just away from the boards and the hit sent him falling backwards. I’m willing to bet the injury is an upper body one, but what it actually is will probably depend on whether or not he hit the boards back first.

PG reported it was a shoulder injury. Hopefully its nothing serious. When Kuni’s been healthy I think hes played some very good hockey. That physical presence on Sids line is defenitely going to be missed especially against the Caps.
