Kris Letang Sidelined On Monday Night
6 years agoPittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang (upper body) will be out of the lineup for Monday's game against the New York Rangers. It is unknown whether or not this injury is related to the neck ailment from late February that cost him 11 games. He is considered day-to-day for now. It is a tough break for the Penguins as Letang has been highly productive when healthy. He has 16 goals, 40 assists, and 19 power-play points through 63 games. Justin Schultz gains immediate value with Letang sidelined as he will become the top offensive option on the blueline. Zach Trotman will also draw into the lineup, but he has no value in any leagues. The severity of Letang's injury will become clearer in the coming days.
