Letang will return to the lineup against New Jersey on Thursday after missing four straight games due to a fracture in his foot.

He has three goals, 22 assists, 67 hits and 64 blocked shots through 50 appearances this season.

Letang (upper body) won't play Wednesday versus the Flames, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Letang will miss at least one game due to the injury. He was labeled a game-time decision, so it's possible his injury isn't too severe. Jack St. Ivany will likely draw into the lineup in a bottom-four role.

Letang (upper body) will be a game-time decision for Wednesday's clash with Calgary, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Letang is day-to-day after missing Tuesday's practice. The Penguins would be missing two integral defenders if Letang joins Erik Karlsson (lower body) on the shelf. Jack St. Ivany or Ilya Solovyov could slot into the lineup in a third-pairing role if Letang is unavailable.

Letang missed practice Tuesday because of an upper-body injury and is considered day-to-day.
EDGE Analysis
Letang has been rolling offensively in 10 games since the calendar flipped to 2026, posting one goal, five assists and 13 shots while averaging 23:35 of ice time. If the veteran blueliner does miss Wednesday's clash with Calgary, it could be an opportunity for new addition Ilya Solovyov to make his Penguins debut -- though Jack St. Ivany will also be in the mix.

Letang scored the game-winning goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Letang found the back of the net when the Penguins needed him the most, as his slap shot at the 58-second mark of overtime gave the Penguins the win. The veteran defender remains a productive player and is up to 20 points (three goals, 17 helpers) while adding 48 hits and 48 blocked shots, as well as a plus-1 rating, in 39 games this season.
