Letang (illness) will not be in the lineup Friday in Columbus, according to Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.
Letang should also be considered questionable for Saturday's home game against San Jose. The 37-year-old defenseman has struggled offensively this season with only two goals and six points in 18 games. Owen Pickering, who was recalled earlier in the day, could make his NHL debut on the blue line in place of Letang.
