The Pittsburgh Penguins won their first game back from the Olympic break when they beat the New Jersey Devils 4-1 on Thursday, and they did it without the services of Sidney Crosby, who is expected to miss four weeks due to a lower-body injury.

The Penguins decided to roll with Egor Chinakhov, Tommy Novak, and Evgeni Malkin as their first line, while Rickard Rakell centered Bryan Rust and Avery Hayes and Ben Kindel centered Justin Brazeau and Anthony Mantha.

Given his two-way prowess and the recent elevation in his production, should Kindel be elevated to second-line center?
