The Pittsburgh Penguins will get one of their many injured players back when Kris Letang takes the ice against the Calgary Flames Monday.

Letang — who has missed the last eight games with a lower-body injury — has 12 points in 15 games this season.

While Letang’s return is a bonus, the team still has some more injuries to overcome as Sidney Crosby, Nick Bjugstad and Justin Schultz are all expected to be out of the lineup until the new year.
