Kris Letang Week to Week
Kris Letang was placed on injured reserve Monday morning, after suffering a lower- body injury on Saturday.
The Pittsburgh Penguin has already missed seven games this season with a lower-body injury and another five games with an upper-body injury. The extent of his injury is not yet known, but being placed on injured reserve means he will be out definitely this entire week and possibly longer. The Penguins will have this week to run more tests and if his injury is more serious we will find out.
Letang leads the team with about 25 minutes on the ice, but after his injuries this season the Penguins have made adjustments to make up for his absence. Hopefully Letang will only miss this week and will return to the ice next week.
Letang is owned in 99% of leagues and is a must start when healthy. There is no indication that he should be dropped, so if you have an open slot on IR just keep him there for now.
