Pittsburgh's blue line health continues to be a concern as yet another top-four defenseman heads to IR
Kelsey and Hannah discuss what the Pittsburgh Penguins should be asking Santa for this holiday season.
The Pittsburgh Penguins have lost yet another top-four defenseman to injury.
On Tuesday, top defenseman Kris Letang was placed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury. He missed Sunday's game against the New York Islanders and joins fellow top-four defenseman Owen Pickering on IR.
Even though another top-four defenseman, Marcus Pettersson, was activated from IR ahead of Tuesday's game against Detroit, the Penguins have had three of their top-four defensemen go down in the month of December alone.
As it stands now, Letang's injury is still classified as day-to-day. Pickering skated in a full capacity with the team on Tuesday morning.
