#penguins Kris Letang can't work out. Problems are not neck related and got his nose fix today.
Certainly sounds like the dreaded 'C' word. Expect an update on Letang following tonight's game.

This Season Performance
Letang has symptoms & virus. He's sick & cannot take test yet.
Sounds like Letang is banged up in more than one way as he has a broken nose, an illness and possible concussion. He is expected to miss at least two more games so expect a further update on him when the team returns home.
Letang & Michalek went back to Pittsburgh for further injury evaluations.
Both players are unlikely to play the next two games. You might want to look for an alternative option for the rest of the week.
Line Change
Letang not SURE, as opposed to not auteur, he will play tonight.
Letang will be a game-time decision for tonight's game. Expect a further update on his status.
The defensemen rotated. Letang is on the ice.
Letang remains questionable for tonight's game but taking the ice is a welcome sign. Expect a further update on the offensive defenseman.
Penguins defenseman Kris Letang is questionable for Tuesday's road game against the Rangers as a result of facial injuries he suffered Saturday in Montreal.
Despite playing in the overtime period during Saturday's game, Letang may have a concussion. Stay tuned for a further word on his status.
Line Change
Kunitz and Letang in the lineup tonight.
Both players are banged up but they still will play today. If you own either player, keep them in your lineup.
Line Change
He was low key about returning tonight after serving a two-game suspension for his boarding penalty against Winnipeg's Alex Burmistrov.
Time to slot Letang back into the lineup after a two-game suspension. Over his first seven games, the Montreal native scored a goal and seven points. With his battery mate Brooks Orpik back in the lineup, his value can only increase.
Suspension
2 game suspension for Letang
With Brian Strait re-called the team at least can dress six defensemen tonight.
Hot Streak
In three games in four days to start the season, Kris Letang has already logged 81 minutes and 24 seconds of ice time. #pens
Add 5 points to the mix and Letang is following his breakout season nicely with the uptempo Pens.
Line Change
"Obviously, I want to take more [of a role] in the room, be a bigger leader. But people don't really know me as a guy who talks a lot. I'm a guy who's going to go on the ice and be an example. But that's something I've tried to do a little more, talk to the young guys and try to maybe lead the way."
In his fifth full season, Letang will be relied upon to lead the Pens blue line. Last season he scored eight goals and 50 points through 82 games but his play drastically fell off when Sidney Crosby got hurt. Look for Letang to improve his consistency this season as he ascends to the elite level.
