Latest news
Kunin scored two goals, one the game-winner, and added an assist in Wednesday's 8-1 rout of the Red Wings.
The 28-year-old center hadn't even produced a multi-point game this season prior to Wednesday, but Kunin took full advantage of the absence of most of Florida's big names in a regular-season finale that had nothing on the line for either team but draft lottery slotting. Kunin managed four goals and 10 points in 62 contests during his first season with the Panthers while adding 123 hits and 47 PIM, and he'll head into free agency this spring looking to land a bottom-six role somewhere.

Kunin notched an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Canadiens.
Kunin was back in the lineup Tuesday after being a scratch Sunday versus the Penguins. The 28-year-old could exit again once Matthew Tkachuk (personal) rejoins the team. Kunin snapped a 10-game point drought and is now at six points, 43 shots on net, 110 hits, 44 blocked shots, 45 PIM and a minus-8 rating over 58 appearances this season.

Kunin was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Saturday, per the AHL transaction log.
Kunin was sent down to Charlotte on Monday after passing through waivers. He has two goals and two assists in 44 games with the Panthers this season. Kunin had a pair of helpers in Friday's 5-3 win over Lehigh Valley during his lone AHL appearance.

Kunin has been placed on waivers by the Panthers, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports Sunday.
Kunin signed with the Panthers in free agency this past offseason, but it hasn't worked out too well. The 28-year-old has just four points (two goals, two assists) in 44 games on the season. If he clears waivers, he could be assigned to AHL Charlotte, but Kunin hasn't played a minor-league game since the 2018-19 season.

Kunin posted an assist in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Blues.
Kunin had been scratched for three of the previous five games. He drew back in since Anton Lundell (upper body) was unavailable, and Kunin ended his 13-game point drought with the assist. The 28-year-old forward has just four points, 28 shots on net, 74 hits, 31 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a minus-9 rating over 40 appearances this season. Once the Panthers get out of this recent wave of injuries, Kunin is likely to fade into a part-time role.

Kunin scored a goal on three shots and added three hits in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Hurricanes.
Kunin snapped an 11-game point drought with the tally. He also missed five games as a healthy scratch during that time. The 28-year-old has filled a fourth-line role when he's in the lineup, earning just three points with 19 shots on net, 52 hits, 24 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 26 appearances.
