This doesn't necessarily mean that they will be playing tonight however with this move it is very likely that at least Letang plays tonight. Monitor their status before game-time.
Coach Bylsma said that Letang will be a game-time decision, however there is a lot of optimism that he will be back in the Penguins lineup tonight. He will need to be activated off of IR if he is going to play.
In addition to Matt Niskanen being back at practice the Penguins best D-man Kris Letang was also back at practice today. Letang is eligible to come off of IR tomorrow and play in tomorrow's game vs. Ottawa. It all depends on how he felt today in practice. Monitor his status before tomorrow's game.
Letang will miss his third straight game tonight with an undisclosed injury. He was placed on injured reserve today but still isn't expected to be out long, but the move to IR allowed the Penguins to call up former first round pick Joe Morrow.
Letang has had a nice start to the season with 3 G and 6 A in the first 10 games of the season. He left practice yesterday and missed yesterday's game and will miss tomorrow's game as well. His status for Sunday's matchup with the Devils.
There is no solid news on Letang other than he left practice early. Penguins coach Dan Bylsma didn't say anything on the subject of Letang, so monitor his status prior to game-time.
Letang is back in the lineup for today's game. He scored nine goals and 36 points in only 47 games.

Letang not practicing could be an indication he sits out tonight's game. The offensive defender has clearly been banged up and was even held off the top PP unit as of late.
