Defenseman Kris Letang and center Marcel Goc were back at team practice Friday at Southpointe and are both expected to be in the lineup Saturday night when the Penguins play in Montreal.

“Both look fine and I expect both will play (Saturday),” head coach Mike Johnston said.

Letang has been battling through many bumps and bruises. Against the Bruins he was hit by two shots. Though he was in pain, he did not miss a shift, and finished the game with a game-high 27:28 minutes of ice time.

Letang was given a maintenance day off on Thursday.
