Kunitz Out; Caputi Recalled

Kunitz is scheduled to undergo surgery tomorrow in Philadelphia to repair a torn abdominal muscle and is expected to be out of the lineup for 4-6 weeks.

“Chris has played with this injury for an extended period of time and although it is always difficult to lose a very talented player, we all believe this is the best decision for him,” said Ray Shero, the Penguins Executive Vice President and General Manager. “We are confident that he will come back strong after this surgery. In the meantime, we’ll look to our other forwards to step up
in his absence.”
The Penguins have recalled forward Luca Caputi to fill the void while Kunitz is recovering.
