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 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.
Letang was on the ice for the Penguins morning skate and it sounds likely that he will be in the lineup tonight vs. the Jets. Letang missed the Penguins final game before the All Star break with a head injury he suffered on a hit from Zac Rinaldo, which Rinaldo was suspended for eight games for.
