Penguins' Kris Letang: Available for crucial Game 5

Letang has served his one-game ban and is available for Game 5 on Saturday against Washington.

Analysis:

Letang was probably the happiest man in Pittsburgh on Wednesday night, as his teammates bailed him out and got the overtime victory. The defender has been logging ridiculous minutes in the postseason -- 29:14 per game, including 4:26 with the man advantage. Considering he's on the ice for nearly half the game, it's not surprising the 29-year-old has tallied seven points in eight playoff contests. In terms of fantasy value, there are not many blueliners who are going to put up bigger numbers. The question is whether you're willing to pony up the cost of deploying him.
