[UPDATE] Pre-Game Notes: Pittsburgh VS Minnesota (Letang IS OUT for Tonight)
and Nationally on VERSUS
FACE-OFF IS SET FOR 7:30 PM (EST)
[UPDATE] CALL-UP / POSSIBLE DISCIPLINE FOR LETANG
the league has suspended Kris Letang for two games beginning with tonight’s game
the Penguins announced earlier this morning that they’ve recalled defenseman Brian Strait from their AHL affiliate team in WBS; I believe he will replace Kris Letang (if necessary) who US Today has reported (and NHL has confirmed) will be meeting with newly appointed disciplinarian, Brendan Shanahan, for the boarding penalty he received in last night’s game against the Winnipeg Jets (13.08 of the third period for his hit on Alexander Burmistrov).
