Shirey: Letang's big rebound, Granlund's defense, more stats

After re-upping with the Penguins for another six years, Kris Letang came out of the gates with back-to-back dominant performances in the first two games of the season.

In what's become a distant memory, the Penguins started out 2-0 with victories over the Coyotes and Lightning, outscoring both by a total of 12-4. Letang was a massive part of that equation. He logged just over 46.5 total minutes during all situations in those two games. During his ice-time, the Penguins had a 7-1 advantage in goals, a 51-16 dominance in shots, and a 7.86-0.93 supremacy in expected goals.
