The Pittsburgh Penguins will be without defenseman Kris Letang when they entertain the San Jose Sharks tonight. Letang suffered a concussion in Saturday’s win over the Arizona Coyotes.
David Perron will return to the Penguins lineup after missing Saturday’s game due to illness.
San Jose enters tonight’s game looking for a third straight win. The Sharks are seven points out of a wild card seed in the Western Conference. Meanwhile the Penguins entered Sunday’s action in the second spot in the Metropolitan Division.
San Jose won the only meeting between the two clubs 2-1 in a shootout on March 9.
Puck drop tonight is at 7:30 p.m. ET. You can watch the game on NBCSN, or catch it live online using NBCSports.com’s Live Extra.
