It has been a big start of the season for Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang.
Not only does he look healthy, refreshed, and back to the player everyone expects him to be, he has probably been the team’s best player over the first month of the season, while he and his defense partner — Brian Dumoulin — have done their part to carry the group defensively.
They have been sensational.
It has also been a big start for Letang personally because he reached two personal milestones by becoming the franchise’s all-time leading scorer among defensemen, and by scoring his 100th career goal, something that only Paul Coffey was able to do as a defenseman in a Penguins uniform.
