Kris Letang - Absent from lineup Letang (upper body) won't play Wednesday versus the Flames, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reports.

Impact 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.

Kris Letang - Game-time call Wednesday Letang (upper body) will be a game-time decision for Wednesday's clash with Calgary, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reports.

Impact The fact that Letang hasn't been officially ruled out is certainly good news for a Pens squad that is already without Erik Karlsson (lower body). If Letang can't give it a go Wednesday, either Jack St. Ivany or new addition, Ilya Solovyov, could slot into the lineup in a third-pairing role.
