Letang will miss his third straight game and sixth in the last seven when the Penguins play tomorrow. His original timetable was 7-10 days so he could return later this week.
Letang has a broken toe. He'll miss at least a week, monitor his status next week.
That didn't take long. Letang was taken off of IR yesterday but is placed back on IR today because he broke his toe last night.
Letang was taken off the injured reserve list Tuesday afternoon after missing four games because of a lower-body injury. He logged more than 24 minutes in Pittsburgh's 1-0 win, its 13th in a row, but told RDS after the game that he was not 100 percent after the first period. According to TSN, the reason he wasn't at full strength was because he has sustained a broken toe. If the Penguins opt to put Letang back on injured reserve, Simon Despres would be his likely replacement in the lineup.
Looks like Letang will play, get him in your lineup. Will update if he is a late scratch.
Simon Despres has been sent down in order to clear space for Letang to come off of IR. Despres was in the lineup for the Penguins last game and Douglas Murray will not play tonight, so all signs point to Letang returning to the Pens blueline tonight.
Letang practiced on the Penguins first power-play unit this morning. He is more likely to play than Malkin is, monitor his status prior to puck-drop to see if he will be in the lineup.
Letang will miss his third straight game tonight with a groin injury. Consider him day-to-day.
Letang is practicing on the Penguins fourth pair this morning which means he probably isn't going to suit up when the Penguins take on the Flyers tonight. Check back for confirmation later in the day.
Letang will miss his second straight game with a groin injury. The Penguins will be without Letang and Malkin tonight vs. the Islanders. They play the Flyers on Sunday. Monitor Letang's status for Sunday's contest.
This leaves the door open for Letang to play on Friday but nothing has been confirmed. Monitor his status tomorrow and Friday to see if he will play or sit.
This is positive news, that Letang is just day-to-day and his injury doesn't sound too serious. The Penguins next game is Friday vs. the Islanders, monitory Letang's status prior to Friday's game.
Letang left yesterday's with what is being called a lower-body injury. Check back tomorrow for a more detailed injury update when the team is available to the media.
Letang would be a huge loss for the Penguins and your team.
No official word yet on the injury. Stay tuned.
This doesn't necessarily mean that they will be playing tonight however with this move it is very likely that at least Letang plays tonight. Monitor their status before game-time.
Coach Bylsma said that Letang will be a game-time decision, however there is a lot of optimism that he will be back in the Penguins lineup tonight. He will need to be activated off of IR if he is going to play.
In addition to Matt Niskanen being back at practice the Penguins best D-man Kris Letang was also back at practice today. Letang is eligible to come off of IR tomorrow and play in tomorrow's game vs. Ottawa. It all depends on how he felt today in practice. Monitor his status before tomorrow's game.
Letang will miss his third straight game tonight with an undisclosed injury. He was placed on injured reserve today but still isn't expected to be out long, but the move to IR allowed the Penguins to call up former first round pick Joe Morrow.
Letang has had a nice start to the season with 3 G and 6 A in the first 10 games of the season. He left practice yesterday and missed yesterday's game and will miss tomorrow's game as well. His status for Sunday's matchup with the Devils.
