Penguins' Kris Letang: Rifles one past netminder

Letang ripped the puck into the back of the net in Tuesday's Game 6 victory over Tampa Bay.

Analysis:

Letang's tally ended a 12-game goalless streak that dated back to the Pens first round series with New York. With Pittsburgh facing elimination, the team's leaders stepped up when they were needed most to force a Game 7 back in the Burg. Surprisingly, the defender logged less than 25 minutes of ice time, something that hasn't happened since April 2. However, fantasy owners shouldn't be too concerned, as the 29-year-old will certainly be up in the play when he is needed most for Thursday's pivotal matchup.
