With eight points in his last nine games, Letang feels his game is finally rounding into form
Mike Sullivan and Kris Letang sat down for a conversation in early September.
Letang, then five months removed from the neck surgery that cost him most of last season, had only been back on the ice in equipment, at full speed, for a few weeks.
Sullivan thought it was important to manage expectations a bit and told Letang the Penguins didn’t expect him to be at the top of his game right off the bat.
Letang took the comment in stride but admitted he didn’t quite believe Sullivan at first.
