Kris Letang: (Concussion) Released From Hospital
Letang was diagnosed with a concussion stemming from a head injury in the second period of Saturday's game, Josh Yohe of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.
Analysis:
Letang is currently being listed as day-to-day, but a concussion serious enough to require a trip to the hospital could cost the blueliner more time than just a couple days. He'll need to go through the concussion protocol before returning to the ice, though he's currently dealing with an open-ended timetable. However, he can effectively be ruled out for Sunday's contest.
