Kris Letang Ready To Rock Saturday
1 year agoPittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang (lower-body) is now expected to play against the St. Louis Blues on Saturday, according to head coach Mike Sullivan. Letang was originally doubtful for this weekend's game, but after returning to practice Friday he appears ready to go. He will return to the top pair and second powerplay unit but could see time on the top unit if the Penguins' powerplay falters. For now, though, expect a slight point decrease for the 36-year-old while Erik Karlsson takes that precious powerplay time. Fortunately, Letang is still very useful due to his five-on-five production and peripheral stats.
