Kris Letang Doubtful For The Weekend Due To Lower-Body Injury
1 year agoPittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang might have to skip his first game of the season Saturday against St. Louis because he sustained a lower-body injury Wednesday versus Detroit. The three-time Stanley Cup champion managed to complete the game, but he couldn't practice on Thursday. Letang went scoreless Wednesday night but has started the campaign reasonably well, notching three points in four outings with six hits and a plus-three rating. Ryan Shea is expected to make his NHL debut Saturday if Letang isn't available. The 26-year-old has shown some upside in the AHL, notching 60 points (10 goals, 50 assists) in 136 appearances over the previous two seasons with the Texas Stars.
