This Season Projection
Percentiles are based on a three-year weighted average of Fantasy Hockey Standard League Scoring Settings. Percentiles represent the players rank among his respective position.
In three games in four days to start the season, Kris Letang has already logged 81 minutes and 24 seconds of ice time. #pens
Add 5 points to the mix and Letang is following his breakout season nicely with the uptempo Pens.
Line Change
"Obviously, I want to take more [of a role] in the room, be a bigger leader. But people don't really know me as a guy who talks a lot. I'm a guy who's going to go on the ice and be an example. But that's something I've tried to do a little more, talk to the young guys and try to maybe lead the way."
In his fifth full season, Letang will be relied upon to lead the Pens blue line. Last season he scored eight goals and 50 points through 82 games but his play drastically fell off when Sidney Crosby got hurt. Look for Letang to improve his consistency this season as he ascends to the elite level.
