Letang is visiting the doctor this morning after leaving last night’s game with an apparent head injury.

Letang left Tuesday’s game after an illegal hit from Zac Rinaldo. Letang underwent concussion protocol following the game, but will visit with doctors this morning to determine the nature and severity of the injury. Expect an update later today or over the All Star break.

Letang (lower-body) will play on Monday.

Letang was listed as questionable and when Brian Dumoulin was recalled this morning it looked like Letang wouldn’t play, but coach Mike Johnston confirmed that Letang will be in the lineup tonight vs. the Devils. Letand has three goals and one assist in eight games since returning to the lineup on December 12th.

Letang (groin) is unlikely to play on Monday.

Letang was on the ice for the Penguins’ morning skate on Monday, but did not take part in line rushes and was not very involved in drills. It looks like Letang will miss a fifth straight game, but being on the ice for the morning skate, is a good sign that he should be back this week.

Letang (lower-body) will miss about two weeks.

Letang’s “minor lower-body injury” is not looking so minor anymore. Coach Johnston said that it will be about two weeks, so we will consider him out for 10-14 days. Christian Ehrhoff and Olli Maatta get a bump in fantasy value with the extended power-play time they will see.

The Penguins have placed Kris Letang (lower-body) on injured reserve.

The move is likely retroactive to November 28th, which means that Letang will miss Thursday’s game vs. the Canucks as well, because he is not eligible to be activated until Friday. The Penguins called it a “minor lower-body injury” so he could be back on Saturday vs. the Senators.
