Letang is the last player to step onto the ice for the Penguins' game-day skate.
Letang is on the ice with his teammates right now but is taking line-rushes on the 4th D-pairing, which would suggest he won't play tonight. Coach Bylsma will likely give an update on Letang following practice.
Kris Letang just took the ice at Southpointe for practice. First time back with his teammates.
Letang has missed the Penguins last five games with a broken toe. This is positive news that he could return tomorrow vs. the Hurricanes.
No injury updates. I'm expecting Letang to play Tuesday in Raleigh.
Letang skated on his own this morning but not with the team. He will miss his fifth straight game tonight when the Pens take on the Rangers. He has the entire weekend to get ready for Pittsburgh's next game on Tuesday.
All 22 healthy Penguins players are participating in the game-day skate. Letang is not.
This means it is unlikely that Letang will play tonight vs. the Sabres. We will get confirmation following the morning skate.
Letang will be on the ice again tomorrow by himself, but no timeline going forward #Pens
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, lower-body, 7-10 days.
Letang has a broken toe. He'll miss at least a week, monitor his status next week.
The Penguins also announced that they have placed defenseman Kris Letang on injured reserve with a lower-body injury.
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.
Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang reportedly sustained a broken toe on Tuesday in his team's victory over the Montreal Canadiens at Consol Energy Center.
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.
Letang, as expected, is on the ice for the Penguins' warmups.
Looks like Letang will play, get him in your lineup. Will update if he is a late scratch.
Kris Letang has been activated from IR.
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.
Bylsma said Malkin and Letang are "very close." Didn't rule them out tonight but didn't indicate they'll play. Game-time decision
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 officially out tonight.
Letang will miss his third straight game tonight with a groin injury. Consider him day-to-day.
Malkin and Letang both extras again during line rushes. #Penguins
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 NOT play vs #Isles tonight. Still day-to-day per coach Bylsma #Pens
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.
LETANG UPDATE: skated before team's practice. Lower-body injury, day-to-day. May practice tomorrow per coach Bylsma #Pens
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.
Bylsma: Kris Letang day to day, won't play tonight.
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.
No update on Letang today. It's an off day and the team is not available. We'll let everyone know as soon as we have something. #Pens
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.
Official word on Letang is lower body injury. He did not return to the game.
