For the second week in a row, the Penguins winger has been lights out on the ice. After his great performance last week, he was right back at it again this week, leading the Pens to four wins from Saturday to Friday.
This week, Kunitz netted four of his eight shot attempts and added four assists for a total of eight points in four games. His best game of the week came on Sunday against the New York Islanders. He notched a hat trick on the night, scoring three goals and added two assists. He shot 60 percent from the ice on Sunday, also. His plus/minus rating for the week was 6.
Kunitz has been on fire as of late and he’s looking to stay hot and lead the Pens to their eighth straight win when they take on the New York Rangers tonight at 1:00 pm ET at the CONSOL Energy Center in Pittsburgh.
For his strong play and continued success, Chris Kunitz is once again our Yinzer of the Week.
