Penguins' Kris Letang: Back in lineup Wednesday

Letang (upper body) will slot back into the lineup against the Ducks on Wednesday.

Analysis:

Letang has been plagued with injuries throughout much of his career and this latest ailment kept him out of the Penguins' last five matchups. With it being his first game back, the defenseman may not quite reach his usual ice time average of 26:09, but owners should expect him to retake his spot on the top power-play unit. The offensively-minded 29-year-old has just two assists this season, but both came with the man advantage. If Letang can stay healthy, which is by no means certain, he can still offer top-end value in most fantasy formats.
