The Pittsburgh Penguins are going to be without the services of Kris Letang for the foreseeable future after Wednesday’s scary news that he suffered another stroke.
Even though Letang seems determined to get back on the ice, and as soon as possible, it still remains to be seen when or if that will happen this season.
The most important thing: Letang’s long-term health, so patience and precaution need to be the top priority.
That obviously creates a pretty significant opening on the Penguins’ blue line.
In that absence the Penguins are going to need a couple of players to step up.
