Penguins goalie Fleury, defenseman Letang, practice on Tuesday

"The 100 Yards" Roster Report


Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury and defenseman Kris Letang practiced with the team on Tuesday.

Fleury has not played since December 14th due to a concussion.

Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said that there is no timetable for Fleury's return  to game action.

"I felt pretty good out there today," Fleury said in comments tweeted by the team. "I'm not sure when I'm going to be back. It's going to be gradual."

Letang sustained an upper body injury on Devcember 9th against the Colorado Avalanche. He returned to game action on Saturday against the Minnesota Wild but sustained a hit from Wild forward Jarrett Stoll that caused Letang to leave the game and sit out on Sunday against the Winnipeg Jets. Letang has only played three games since the beginning of December.

It is unclear at this time if Letang will play on Wednesday when the Penguins will host the Tornoro Maple Leafs.

"Letang had a pretty good practice today," Sullivan said. "We'll see how he is tomorrow morning. We will make decisions from there."
