WINNIPEG, Manitoba — Penguins coach Mike Sullivan offered some clarity on defenseman Kris Letang’s injury Wednesday, confirming it is not a concussion, nor is it related to Letang’s previous stroke.
Sullivan said Letang’s injury could be described as “hockey-related.”
“There’s just been so much speculation around Kris’ injury,” Sullivan said. “What I will confirm is that it’s not a concussion, it’s not related to a stroke or anything of that nature. Kris has an upper-body injury, he’s rehabbing the injury at home as we speak. We’re hopeful here that he’ll have a quick turnaround and we’ll get him back in the lineup.
