Letang on being at NHL Awards with his family: "It's great. She loves it [laughs as Victoria runs away]. They've been part of some events, but to have all four of us together, especially for an award that represents the family and everything we go through together, it's special."

With his assist on Rickard Rakell's goal, Kris Letang became the seventh player in @penguins history to record 400 even-strength points.
He is the third active blueliner, and 23rd in NHL history to reach the milestone.
White jersey means non-contact, so even if Kris Letang does stay for practice it looks like he might not be a full participant.
Letang was injured Dec. 28, Mike Sullivan said last week that it's still something they'd have to deal with when he returns.
Mike Sullivan said the Penguins anticipate Kris Letang re-joining the team in the next day or so.
He added that Josh Archibald and Tristan Jarry skated before morning skate with assistant coach Ty Hennes and goalie coach Andy Chiodo.
