Pittsburgh Penguins News

Kings Jeff Carter shows up at public signing in a walking boot.

The Kings have been very vague with Carter's injury details. There was speculation that Carter was dealing with a foot issue and a walking boot certainly solidify that report. A walking boot usually signifies a significant injury so Carter could be out for a extended period of time.

Letang, as expected, is on the ice for the Penguins' game-day skate. Expected to play tonight for the first time this season.

Letang has been sidelined for the Penguins first nine games because of a knee injury. The Penguins went 7-2-0 without their star defenseman, so his presence on the back-end and on the power-play will only bolster and already elite lineup. There were reports that he was 'flying' in practice this week, making him safe to deploy tonight - if he plays of course.

Penguins defenseman Kris Letang is participating in his first full team practice since suffering a knee injury in late September.

Penguins head coach Dan Bylsma said that Letang wouldn't be able to return until he participated in a full team practice, so he is nearing a return. Monitor his status during tomorrow's morning skate prior to their game with the Flyers.
