Top Kris Letang News

  • Penguins' Kris Letang: Game-time call

    Letang (illness) will be a game-time decision Saturday versus Washington, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

    Letang missed Friday's 5-2 win over Buffalo due to the illness. He has seven goals, 17 points, 18 PIM, 71 hits and 45 blocks in 40 appearances in 2024-25. If Letang returns Saturday, Ryan Graves could be a healthy scratch.

  • Penguins' Kris Letang: Ready to rock

    Letang (illness) will play against Washington on Saturday.

    Letang will return to the top pairing and should see power-play time after missing Friday's 5-2 win over Buffalo. He has produced seven goals, 17 points, 92 shots on net, 45 blocked shots and 71 hits in 40 appearances this season. Letang will replace Pierre-Olivier Joseph (illness) in Saturday's lineup.

  • Penguins' Kris Letang: Not playing Friday

    Letang (illness) is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Sabres.

    Letang dealt with a lower-body injury in late December and early January, but the Penguins later revealed he is under the weather rather than hurt. Owen Pickering and Ryan Graves will both be in the lineup, while Letang is likely questionable to play Saturday versus the Capitals.

  • Penguins' Kris Letang: First point since return

    Letang notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken.

    The helper was Letang's first point in six games since he returned from a lower-body injury. The 37-year-old blueliner has seen plenty of ice time in a top-four role, but he's had some trouble getting involved on offense this season. He's at 17 points, 92 shots on net, 71 hits, 45 blocked shots and a minus-15 rating over 40 appearances. Letang hasn't finished below a 0.5 points-per-game pace since 2009-2010, but that could change in 2024-25 if he doesn't heat up.

  • Penguins' Kris Letang: Removed from IR

    Letang (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Sunday.

    Pittsburgh moved Philip Tomasino (lower body) to the IR list in a corresponding move. Letang will return to the top pairing and first power-play unit versus Carolina on Sunday after missing the last three games. He has produced seven goals, 16 points, 84 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and 56 hits in 34 appearances this season. With Letang back, Ryan Graves will be a healthy scratch versus the Hurricanes.

  • Penguins' Kris Letang: Lands on IR

    Letang (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

    Pittsburgh activated Marcus Pettersson (lower body) from injured reserve in a corresponding move. Letang won't be eligible to return until at least Jan. 5 against Carolina following his placement on the IR list. He has amassed seven goals, 16 points, 84 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and 56 hits in 34 appearances this season.

  • Penguins' Kris Letang: Unavailable against Detroit

    Letang (lower body) won't play in Tuesday's road game against the Red Wings, according to Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

    Letang was injured in Saturday's loss to the Islanders, as he was unable to suit up in Sunday's rematch against New York. He'll miss his second straight game Tuesday, and given that he's not skating, the right-shot blueliner's status for Friday's contest against Florida seems murky at best. Marcus Pettersson (lower body) might be able to return Tuesday in Detroit, which would help offset the loss of Letang.

  • Penguins' Kris Letang: Unavailable Sunday

    Letang (lower body) won't play Sunday versus the Islanders.

    Letang had one shot on goal, one hit and two blocked shots in 25:04 of ice time in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Islanders. He has seven goals and 16 points through 34 appearances this season. Letang will be replaced in Sunday's lineup by Nate Clurman.

  • Penguins' Kris Letang: Finds twine Saturday

    Letang scored a goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Senators.

    Even though Letang endured a slow start to the campaign, the 37-year-old is showing he still has something left in the tank, with points in four consecutive games and six of the last seven. Letang has posted five goals and four assists in that seven-game stretch, with two of those goals coming on the power play and another shorthanded. With 15 points in 29 games overall, Letang is undoubtedly trending in the right direction after being almost a non-factor in most fantasy formats during the first few weeks of the campaign.

  • Penguins' Kris Letang: Two points in blowout win

    Letang scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and logged two PIM in Thursday's 9-2 win over the Canadiens.

    Both of Letang's points came on the power play. The 37-year-old defenseman has turned up the offense lately with four goals and four helpers over his last six contests, with five of those points coming on the power play in addition to one shorthanded goal. Overall, he has 14 points (eight on the power play), 75 shots on net, 46 hits, 31 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a minus-12 rating through 28 outings.

  • Penguins' Kris Letang: Pots empty-netter

    Letang scored a shorthanded empty-net goal, fired seven shots on net, went plus-3, added two PIM, levied two hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

    Letang racked up plenty of non-scoring production before putting away the final goal of the game. He's scored three times and added two assists over his last four games. The defenseman is up to five goals, 11 points, 69 shots on net, 46 hits, 29 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a minus-11 rating over 26 appearances. Letang has logged at least one shorthanded point in four of the last six campaigns, but it doesn't represent an outsized portion of his offense.

  • Penguins' Kris Letang: Scores again Tuesday

    Letang scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers.

    Letang's tally stretched the Penguins' lead to 3-1 in the second period. The defenseman has four points over his last two games after going six contests without a point. He's collected four goals, six helpers, 61 shots on net, 43 hits, 26 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-13 rating through 24 outings overall.

  • Penguins' Kris Letang: Huge night on power play

    Letang racked up a goal and two assists, all on the power play, in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Flames.

    The veteran blueliner also fired a game-high eight shots on net with two hits, a blocked shot and a minus-1 rating. Letang snapped a six-game point drought, sandwiched around a three-game absence due to an illness, and Saturday's breakout marked his first multi-point outing of the season. His three goals and nine points in 23 appearances are disappointing given his track record, but Letang could be heating up.

  • Penguins' Kris Letang: Good to go Friday

    Letang (illness) will return from a three-game absence in Friday's game versus the Jets.

    Letang is poised to resume his top-four role as well as his power-play duties in his first action since Nov. 13. The 37-year-old defenseman has struggled this season, posting six points, 47 shots on net, 35 hits, 20 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over 18 appearances.

  • Penguins' Kris Letang: Game-time call Friday

    Letang (illness) will be a game-time decision against the Jets on Friday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.

    Letang looks poised to return from a three-game absence due to his illness. Prior to being sidelined, the 37-year-old blueliner was mired in a 14-game goal drought dating back to Oct. 14 versus the Habs. During his goalless streak, the Montreal native managed just three assists, and he's struggled to provide much in the way of offensive upside this season.

  • Penguins' Kris Letang: Remains out Tuesday

    Letang (illness) will not be in the lineup versus Tampa Bay on Tuesday, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Letang will be shelved for his third consecutive game due to his lingering illness. Prior to his absence, the 37-year-old blueliner was mired in a 14-game goal drought during which he managed just three assists to go with 41 shots, 26 hits and 18 blocks. With Letang still shelved, Owen Pickering figures to remain in the Pens' lineup versus the Bolts.

  • Penguins' Kris Letang: Unavailable Saturday

    Letang (illness) won't play Saturday against San Jose.

    Letang will miss his second straight game. He has collected two goals, four assists, 47 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and 35 hits across 18 appearances this season. Jack St. Ivany replaced Letang in the lineup for Friday's 6-2 loss to Columbus, but Owen Pickering is also available to play if called upon.

  • Penguins' Kris Letang: Not playing Friday

    Letang (illness) will not be in the lineup Friday in Columbus, according to Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.

    Letang should also be considered questionable for Saturday's home game against San Jose. The 37-year-old defenseman has struggled offensively this season with only two goals and six points in 18 games. Owen Pickering, who was recalled earlier in the day, could make his NHL debut on the blue line in place of Letang.

  • Penguins' Kris Letang: Snags helper Friday

    Letang logged an assist, two shots on goal, four hits and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-2 win over the Capitals.

    Letang has earned three helpers over his last six contests as he tries to overcome a slow start to the campaign. The 37-year-old defenseman has two goals, four assists, 42 shots on net, 34 hits, 13 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 16 appearances. Letang continues to see big minutes in a top-four role as well as power-play time, so he should be able to make progress on offense over time.

  • Penguins' Kris Letang: Logs power-play assist in win

    Letang had a power-play assist, one shot on net, one block, three hits and two PIM in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Canadiens.

    Letang had the primary helper on Sidney Crosby's second-period power-play tally. It was Letang's third point with the man advantage this season. The defenseman entered the contest with just one point over the previous eight outings. The three hits raised his season total to 25 over 13 appearances in 2024-25.
