Kunitz Cleared for Return

By J. OzVath on February 2, 2010

From The Insider On Pittsburgh Sports:

Pittsburgh Penguins winger Chris Kunitz (abdominal) has been cleared to return to the lineup Saturday night against Montreal.

Kunitz’s return is expected to along side Sidney Crosby.  Pascal Dupuis will slide back down in the depth chart and one of either Nick Johnson or Mark Letestu is probably not coming back Saturday after their reassignment to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton earlier Tuesday.

Unknown is what effect, if any, this will have on the recent pairing of Jordan Staal and Evgeni Malkin on the 2nd line.
