Kunitz to make debut for Penguins

Feb 27, 2009 - 11:24 AM Pittsburgh (30-26-6) at Chicago (34-17-8), 8:30 pm EST

CHICAGO (Ticker) -- The Pittsburgh Penguins hope their newest addition can make an immediate impact.

Chris Kunitz will be available when the Penguins begin a five-game road swing against the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday.

Pittsburgh acquired Kunitz - along with fellow left wing Eric Tangradi - from the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday for defenseman Ryan Whitney. Kunitz has notched 16 goals and 35 points in 62 games this season and has scored more than 20 goals in each of the previous two campaigns.

The Penguins, however, could be without captain Sidney Crosby for a second straight game.

Crosby missed Wednesday's 1-0 win over the New York Islanders with a groin injury. The All-Star center has collected 23 goals and 56 assists on the season.

The Blackhawks are hoping to avoid a third straight loss. Chicago squandered a two-goal lead in the third period during Tuesday's 5-3 setback to the Nashville Predators.
