This evening, Pittsburgh Penguins head coach Dan Muse has provided a health update on defenseman Kris Letang after he missed recent games.
The Pittsburgh Penguins have been faced with a surge of injuries over the last week as star defensemen Erik Karlsson and Kris Letang have both missed time due to injuries.
Letang most recently has been out of the lineup for a pair of games due to an upper-body injury.
Today, he finally returned to the ice providing fans with hope that he could return to game action soon for the Penguins.
After practice, Dan Muse spoke to the media and was able to give a health update on Letang.

After practice, Muse spoke to the media and confirmed Letang was a full participant back at practice again.
However, even with this positive step, Letang remains questionable for Sunday's contest against the Vancouver Canucks.
He was obviously a full participant today in practice, which was great. Still have to have some conversations (regarding his status for Sunday versus Vancouver).
Letang is enjoying a bounce back season with the Penguins this year tallying 25 points in 48 games putting him on pace for 42 points a solid improvement over the 2024-25 season.
The Penguins currently sit second in the Metropolitan Division but need to keep up their success as the margins to remain in the Stanley Cup Playoffs are razor thin.
As more information is provided on Kris Letang's injury and his potential return to the Penguins lineup we will pass those details along to you.
