Penguins' Kris Letang: Lands on injured reserve

Letang (upper body) is listed on injured reserve, per the NHL's official media site.

Analysis:

The move to IR doesn't necessarily change the timetable for Letang's return, as he's technically already eligible to return, but it could indicate that the Penguins are planning on being without him for at least a few more games. If Derrick Pouliot (illness) is unable to go Wednesday, the Penguins could employ a recall in order to carry seven defensemen.
