" It was not the kind of thing Chris Kunitz wanted to show up on his linescore for the Penguins' first-round playoff series against the Ottawa Senators.

Making a move to bury a shot, the left winger lost his footing and took a header, spawning uproarious laughter. Luckily for him, his pratfall occurred Sunday night in the Penguins' dressing room and the audience was limited to people still in those friendly confines of the otherwise hostile Scotiabank Place following Game 3, and he slunk away with an embarrassed smile, muttering something about someone needing to clean up the water on the floor.

"Yeah, a couple of laughs," he recalled Tuesday night.

On the other slippery surface, the frozen kind, Kunitz has been anything but klutzy.

He has been a big factor in the series, and Tuesday night it was heavy on offense.

In Game 4, a 7-4 Penguins win for a commanding, 3-1 series lead, Kunitz had a goal and two assists."
