Kris Letang's dream season continues, and he now stands alone among Pittsburgh Penguins defensemen in the playoffs.
With an empty-net goal in Game 3 against the New York Rangers, Letang became the highest goal-scoring defenseman in Penguins playoff history. He now has 16 career postseason goals, one more than Larry Murphy tallied in black and gold.
Letang now has a goal and two assists this spring, and he played a game-high 26:32 on Tuesday.
The Montreal native, who will turn 29 later this month, enjoyed the most productive season of his career in 2015-16, with 16 goals and 51 assists in 71 games. He was a big part of the Penguins' second-half resurgence, and has continued his stellar play in the postseason.
