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 is battling an undisclosed injury and he is questionable for Saturday’s afternoon game in Los Angeles. Thankfully for the Penguins, they could be getting Olli Maatta back. Monitor Letang’s status as the 4:00 pm ET puck-drop approaches.
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.
Letang missed last Wednesday’s game with a head injury that he suffered on Tuesday vs. the Flyers. He was back at practice on Monday and said he thinks he will be back in the lineup tomorrow after practice went “really well” today.
Letang suffered a head injury in last night's loss to the Flyers. Derrick Pouliot will return to the lineup with Letang out. He is day-to-day.
