Penguins' Kris Letang: Puts away power-play goal
Kris Letang scored a power-play goal on two shots, added two hits and went minus-2 in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.Letang has opened the season with a goal and an assist, both on the power play, over three games. The defenseman has added four shots on net, five hits, four PIM and a minus-3 rating. His struggles in his own zone have yet to cost him ice time -- Letang remains a top-four option, but at 37 years old, it's possible he's lost a step on the ice. Helping his scoring to begin 2024-25 is the Pittsburgh Penguins' willingness to deploy both Letang and Erik Karlsson on the top power-play unit.

Penguins' Kris Letang: Set for 2024-25 campaign
Kris Letang (finger) has been cleared for training camp, per Pittsburgh's training camp roster Tuesday.Letang didn't let his finger injury stop him from playing in all 82 games last year in which he generated 10 goals and 41 assists. With the addition of Erik Karlsson, the 37-year-old Letang recorded a meager five power-play points, tied for his lowest total with the man advantage for his career with the exception of 2006-07 when he appeared in just seven contests. Assuming Pittsburgh's power play improves this season -- it would be hard-pressed to get worse -- Letang should inherently see his scoring productivity creep back up this year.
