Letang to return after missing 5 games

The Pittsburgh Penguins will welcome star defenseman Kris Letang back to the lineup for Wednesday's game in Anaheim, head coach Mike Sullivan confirmed.

Letang missed the past five games with an upper-body injury suffered in an Oct. 18 loss to Montreal and will be inserted back into the top defensive pairing.

Letang is averaging over 26 minutes of ice time, and recorded two assists and 16 shots in four appearances this season.
