Letting did not participate in the Penguins' practice Thursday and is being evaluated for a lower-body injury. The 36-year-old defensemen is in his 18th season with the Penguins and has three assists, six SOG, two PIMs and a +3 plus/minus in four games played so far in 2023-24. Pittsburgh should be releasing more information on the injuries in the upcoming day or two.

Letang has not played since December 28th but was a full participant in Tuesday's morning skate and will be a game-time decision vs. the Panthers. Letang skated on the top-pair with Brian Dumoulin and on the second power-play unit in the morning skate and was activated off the injured reserve Tuesday afternoon.

Letang is eligible to be activated from LTIR whenever he is back to 100 percent but it gives the Penguins the salary room to activate Jeff Petry and Tristan Jarry from IR and keep Mark Friedman, Jonathan Gruden, and Drew O'Connor on the roster.

Letang has not played since Dec. 28th due to an illness and will not play Wednesday as Pittsburgh takes on the Ottawa Senators. The 35-year-old star defenseman has two goals, 14 assists, 57 SOG and a -12 plus/minus through 29 games prior to his latest absence.

Letang will step away from the Penguins due to the passing of his father Monday. It has been a tough season for the 35-year-old who just returned to Pittsburgh's lineup after dealing with his second career stroke. He had two goals, 14 assists, 57 SOG and was -12 through 29 games prior to him stepping aside.

Letang has two goals, 14 assists, 12 PIMs, 57 shots and a -12 plus/minus through 29 games this season but will miss Friday's game due to a lower-body injury. It is the second time Letang has been forced to miss time in 2022-23, after a scary situation with a stroke earlier in the year.

Just 10 days after suffering a stroke, Letang is back on the ice in a regular jersey. It's unclear when Letang will be back in the lineup, but this is incredible news after it seemed he might not play again this season. Wearing a regular jersey at practice suggests he plans on being back at some point.

Letang suffered his second stroke since 2014 on the bench Monday and will be out indefinitely but the team says he is "not experiencing any lasting effects." It is a terrible loss for the Penguins as the 35-year-old had a goal, 11 assists, and 44 SOG through 21 games in 2022-23 after putting up 68 points in 78 games last season.

The Penguins currently find themselves on a four-game skid so the news that Kris Letang may miss Tuesday due to illness does not come at a good time whatsoever. Letang has struggled early on in 2022-23, posting a -5 plus/minus rating with only four points (0G/4A) through his first nine games.
