Penguins' Kris Letang: Avoids potentially serious injury

Penguins coach Mike Sullivan clarified that Letang is not dealing with a concussion or anything related to his previous stroke.

Analysis:

Sullivan ambiguously referred to Letang's ailment as a "hockey injury," but we can safely deduce that the playmaking blueliner isn't dealing with a serious issue. That's music to the ears of the Penguins and fantasy owners alike, as Tanger has amassed 34 points (five goals, 29 assists) -- including two goals and 12 assists on the man advantage -- over 41 games. Pittsburgh can afford to go the safe route with a playoff berth in the bag.
