Letang to be evaluated in Pittsburgh

Kris Letang will return with the team back to Pittsburgh for further evaluation.  He will not travel with the team for the game against the Washington Capitals. Kris participated in morning skating and spoke with the media after practice. I hope that Kris has a good recovery and that his evaluations are positive. I will keep this post open and update if new information is released.
