Kris Letang News

Letang missed Wednesday’s practice, but will play on Thursday vs. the Flyers. Letang’s health has been a common question mark this season, but when he has been in the lineup he has produced at a high rate. Letang has 30 points (6G / 24A) in 35 games this season.

After missing Sunday’s game vs. the Hurricanes, Letang will play tonight in St. Louis. David Warsofsky (concussion) will come out of the lineup for Letang. He has six goals and 22 assists (28 points) in 34 games this season.

Letang’s presence on the ice for warmups is a good sign that he will play tonight, but we will not know for sure until about five minutes before puck-drop, when the official roster report is released.

Letang missed Sunday’s game with a wrist injury but he will be a game-time decision tonight in St. Louis. If Letang can’t play, Derrick Pouliot, who was recalled this morning, will play.

Letang is battling an undisclosed injury and he is questionable for Saturday’s afternoon game in Los Angeles. Thankfully for the Penguins, they could be getting Olli Maatta back. Monitor Letang’s status as the 4:00 pm ET puck-drop approaches.

Letang suffered a concussion on a scary looking hit from Shane Doan on Saturday. We have learned this season that there is no way to determine how long a player will be out with a concussion and considering this is not Letang’s first, the Penguins will be extra cautious. This is a huge loss for the Pens heading into the playoffs. On Sunday they will play with just five defensemen, with Daniel Winnik serving as an emergency defenseman.

Letang was hit by Shane Doan and it appeared as if his head snapped off of the boards. Letang had to be helped off of the ice and will remain in hospital and undergo further evaluation. It seems highly unlikely that Letang will be able to play tomorrow vs. San Jose.

Letang missed the Penguins last game with a head injury, but will play tonight vs. the Jets. He has 32 points (9G / 23A) in 40 games.
