Kris Letang gets his 37th assist, Penguins beat the Panthers 5-1
Kris Letang has 37 assists, tieing him for 1st with Mark Giordano (they list him as 2nd, but I am going to say it’s a tie!) The Penguins had a great win against the Panthers, with final score being 5-1. “Penguins Defenseman Kris Letang set up Hornqivst’s first goal in a similar fashion to how Crosby assisted his second. Letang pressured Panthers forward Tomas Kopecky and pushed him off of the puck before gaining possession and carrying it below the goal line. Letang slid a pass back into the Florida crease, with Hornqvist darting in, and he tipped a shot over Montoya for a 1-0 Penguins lead, 9:18 into the first period. (Source)
