Penguins' Kris Letang: Hard work paying off

Letang tallied an assist for the second straight game Wednesday against the Sharks.

Analysis:

Letang threaded the needle with a nifty pass to Conor Sheary, setting up his overtime game-winner. He has just three power-play helpers in 19 playoff games, but no one has produced for Pittsburgh on the man advantage. Despite a number of maintenance days in the postseason, Letang has only missed one of his team's games -- and that was due to a one-game suspension. Unsurprisingly, the blueliner led his team with 27:41 of ice time in Game 2.
