Penguins' Kris Letang: Sidelined with lower-body ailment

Letang is week-to-week with a lower-body injury, Michelle Crechiolo of Pens Inside Scoop reports.

Analysis:

Letang gingerly left the ice after taking a heavy check into the board in Wednesday's matchup with Boston, but he was able to return to action in that contest. The 29-year-old has been hampered by injuries throughout his career, but when healthy, he contributes enough offensively to make him worth the risk in most season-long formats. Trevor Daley will likely be asked to step up his minutes with Derrick Pouliot the most probable candidate for a call-up from the minors.
