Penguins activate Letang from IR list!
From today’s PensReport
The Penguins announced that both defensemen Kris Letang and Matt Niskanen were activated from IR. Both have missed games with a lower-body injury.
The activation meant the club was over the 23-man roster limit, so the Pens also re-assigned blueliner Dylan Reese to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League.
The Pens now have seven D-men on the active roster, including Letang and Niskanen. So one of the two will definitely be in uniform tonight. But it’s also possible that both could return. We’ll have to wait and see when coach Bylsma fills out his lineup card.
