cbs sports does a pretty good job in the injuries as well.
Just google, NHL Injuries and you will get various resources. |

Speaking of injuries it has been reported that Chris Kunitz is a game time decision for tomorrow.
I have to pick either Chris Kunitz or Pascal Dupuis (8th round, 40th overall) in my playoff pool draft. Dupuis scored no points in 16 games (was he hurt or benched?) last playoffs and Kunitz had 14 points in 24 games.
I didn't see how Kunitz got hurt, but I do know he missed the last 4 games of the season with a shoulder injury. That being said...what should I do? Go with the healthy Dupuis (81 games, 38 pts) or go with Kunitz whom did not play the whole year but was productive (50 games, 32 pts)?
Just looking for opinions if you were in my shoes.
Edit: If anyone seen the Kunitz injury or has any insight into if Kunitz is prone to injury please let me know.

| IMO, you're taking either one and figuring that Pittsburgh's going to go at least a few rounds, no? Therefore, i take the upside on Kunitz and although he may miss a game or two, he should outpoint Dupuis in the long run. |

Hopefully Kunitz is good to go, i ended up taking him, but go him fairly late so it wasn't much of a gamble anyways. I'm not very happy with the team i came home with.
There was 14 of us, and i drew the 2nd pick (took Sidney Crosby), but that meant i didn't pick again until #27. |

Here's hoping I've made the right decision as I did end up going with Kunitz because we needed to finalize our pool tonight.
Alex116, I am planning on the Pens to at very least make it to the conference finals so I'm guessing he should be good for 10 - 15 points if he is still playing with Crosby but if he is on the 2nd line with Malkin that can't hurt either.
That's rough pickin' for you ryan93, we had a small group of only 5 guys (3 no shows) picking 12 players: 10 forwards and 2 D, but I'm happy with most of my picks as I did get Ovie as the 2nd pick.
The truth is we were all set with our picks but when we were all done I failed to notice that Kunitz was hurt and the guys allowed me to change my pick at the end as long as the player came from the Pens and with all the other top players gone Kunitz or Dupuis seemed to be the next best bet.
