Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang will miss the team's final game against the Washington Capitals as he underwent surgery to close a small hole in his heart. Letang, a three-time Stanley Cup champion, has a history of missing time due to heart-related issues, including strokes. The team stated that Letang is expected to fully recover in four to six weeks. Despite a season with lower point production, Letang remains a key player for the Penguins, averaging the highest ice time on the team at 23:32 per game.
