Blackhawks' Chris Kunitz: Buries goal
Chris Kunitz potted a goal and posted two hits in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Sharks.The 39-year-old winger has seen less than 10 minutes of ice time in his last six appearances while holding down a spot on the fourth line. Kunitz does have a pair of goals and two assists in 13 appearances in March, but he's long past being a reliable fantasy contributor.

Blackhawks' Chris Kunitz: Struggling to find ice time
Chris Kunitz has only averaged 6:40 of ice time during his last four appearances.The Chicago Blackhawks definitely value what Kunitz brings to their locker room as a 15-year NHL veteran, but coach Jeremy Colliton is clearly only comfortable with deploying him in an extremely limited role. The former Penguin will likely continue to average less than eight minutes of ice time per game as Chicago battles for a wild-card spot down the stretch.

Blackhawks' Chris Kunitz: Set to play 1,000th career game
Chris Kunitz will not play in Boston on Tuesday, but he will be in the lineup Thursday at home against the Devils, Eric Lear of the Chicago Blackhawks' official site reports.The veteran has only found the scoresheet four times in 33 games this season, but 1,000 NHL games is a very impressive milestone. While he carries very little fantasy value these days, hockey fans, if only for a moment, should pay their respects to Kunitz on Thursday, as many expect the 39-year-old will retire at the conclusion of the 2018-19 season. Kunitz is an Olympic gold medalist and four-time Stanley Cup champion.

Blackhawks' Chris Kunitz: Scores in return to Pittsburgh
Chris Kunitz scored his first goal of 2018-19 in a 5-3 win over the Penguins on Sunday.The oh-so-sweet goal represented Kunitz's third point of the season in 24 games. The veteran has gotten lost in the shuffle, with the Chicago Blackhawks focused more on giving their younger players opportunities. While Sunday's marker will warm the hearts of hockey fans, we don't recommend rushing to add the 39-year-old to your fantasy lineup.

Blackhawks' Chris Kunitz: Missing in action
Chris Kunitz has struggled mightily in 2018-19, tallying just a pair of assists in 23 games. The Chicago Blackhawks' forward last found the scoresheet Oct. 31.It's been a forgettable season for the 39-year-old, once-upon-a-time Olympian. Kunitz is playing 10:10 per game in his first season with the suddenly woeful Blackhawks and will likely consider retirement at the conclusion of the current campaign. He's no longer relevant in fantasy and can be safely ignored in all formats.

Chris Kunitz: Needs new team
Chris Kunitz doesn't want to retire, but he won't be offered a contract by the Lightning, Joe Smith of The Athletic Tampa Bay reports.Kunitz, a four-time Stanley Cup champion, isn't going to offer elite-level offensive production anymore -- he notched just 29 points last season -- but the veteran can still be a depth contributor in a bottom-six role. A team looking to add the winger can likely expect to pay between $1-2 million, which is a relative bargain given his experience.
