The Pittsburgh Penguins will have to make do without defenseman Kris Letang for the coming weeks, as coach Mike Sullivan announced Thursday that the blue-liner will be "out a couple weeks" with a lower-body injury.
Letang has appeared in 25 games with the Penguins this season, recording two goals and 17 assists.
The 29-year-old missed five games earlier this season with an upper-body injury.
