For Pens, Concern for ‘Father, Family Guy’ Letang Means More than Hockey

Kris Letang is a special defenseman, ranked No. 31 on the NHL’s all-time scoring list at his position. Only two active blueliners have more points (145G, 517A, 662P), and only four – including Bobby Orr – rank higher with fewer games played than Letang’s 962. The Pens feel confident Letang will play more NHL games. As of Wednesday, though, when that might happen is a question mark.
