Kovalev to play alongside Staal and Neal
Alexei Kovalev - W - Pittsburgh Penguins
Feb. 26, 2011 - 1:30 PM ET

Look for Alexei Kovalev to play on the Penguins' top line alongside Jordan Staal and James Neal.

This could be an impact top unit. In addition, Kovalev is ticketed to play on the point alongside Kris Letang on the Pens' first power-play unit until Paul Martin returns from injury. If Kovalev is available in your league, claim him immediately. Even though he did little in a 4-1 loss to Carolina Friday night, we think Kovalev will want to make a statement sooner rather than later.
