Logs pair of assists Letang notched two assists and two hits in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Lightning.

Impact Letang has five helpers over his last three games for one of his better stretches of the season. The 38-year-old defenseman is up to 33 points, 102 shots on net, 95 hits, 89 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 70 appearances.

Two helpers in Monday's rout Letang produced two assists in Monday's 8-3 romp over the Islanders.

Impact The 38-year-old blueliner had a hand in tallies by Anthony Mantha in the second period and Bryan Rust in the third. The performance snapped a brutal drought for Letang -- he'd managed just one assist in his last 14 games, and his last multi-point effort came back on Nov. 28. On the season, Letang has scraped together three goals and 30 points in 68 contests, and while he looks to be approaching the end of the road on his NHL career, he still has two years and $12.2 million left on his contract.
