They played together for the better part of eight NHL seasons, often on the Penguins’ top line with Sidney Crosby. Pascal Dupuis always appreciated Chris Kunitz as a teammate. He might appreciate him even more now that he’s retired and watches the games from high above Consol Energy Center ice.
“He just keeps going,” Dupuis said of Kunitz.
This was between the second and third period of the Penguins’ game Tuesday night against the New York Islanders. The Penguins were ahead, 1-0, on a deflection goal by Kunitz in the first period. They didn’t score again but still managed to get a 2-1 shootout win.
