Kris Letang is Penguins nominee for 2018 Masterton Trophy

Award is given to player who “best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to ice hockey”

Kris Letang would be the first person to say that this season has not exactly gone as smoothly for him as he had hoped.

But after where he was at this time a year ago, he’s also just happy to have the opportunity to continue to change that narrative.

After missing the final 22 games and entire postseason a year ago due to surgery to correct a herniated disc in his neck, Letang is excited to be gearing up again for a playoff run.
