Letang Continues To Progress

PITTSBURGH (93-7 The FAN) — Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang continued his path back to the starting lineup Tuesday, participating in his first full-team practice since suffering a concussion Nov. 26.

Letang did not dress for Tuesday night's 2-1 shootout win against Carolina, but he said he's hopeful to see game action before the All-Star break.

"We'll see how the week goes," Letang said. "I want to play as quickly as I can play."

Letang is cleared for full practice. There is still no timetable for his return.
