Kris Letang remembers his last shift in a meaningful NHL game.
It came at the tail end of the Penguins’ 3-1 win at Carolina Feb. 21; Letang was on the ice as his team finished off its 37th win of the season.
“It feels like it was two years ago,” Letang said Wednesday.
In reality, it was just a shade more than seven months. But you can forgive Letang for the hyperbole. In the interim, the Penguins went on a spirited playoff run and won their second consecutive Stanley Cup with Letang watching from the press box.
