Kris Letang Hospitalized After Scary Hit 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sun Mar 29, 2015 5:14 am

The Penguins lost defenseman Kris Letang on a hit Saturday that required a trip to the hospital.

Letang left with 4:45 to play in the second period after a hit from Coyotes captain Shane Doan. Letang, in the corner behind his net, was shoved backward by Doan after flipping the puck out of the zone.

"I just went to make sure I got a piece of him so he couldn't jump by me and he obviously went into the boards awkward," Doan said. "You never ever want to see anyone like that, especially a guy with his caliber and everything he's went through in the past couple years.

"You feel awful as a player when something like that happens."
