Kris Letang Activated Off IR, Returns to Penguins Lineup After Foot Injury

Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang has been activated off injured reserve Wednesday, signaling his return to the lineup after missing the team's last four games due to a foot injury. Prior to his absence, Letang was in an 11-game goal drought, recording five assists, 15 shots, and 19 hits. He will also need to adjust to a new defense partner following the trade of Brett Kulak. His return provides a boost to the Penguins' blueline.
