Penguins' Letang takes huge hit from Ovechkin; left late in third with apparent injury

The Pittsburgh Penguins lost consecutive games in regulation for the first time this season after a 3-0 loss to the Washington Capitals and may have lost defenseman Kris Letang, who had a rough third period to say the least.

First, he took a massive hit from Alex Ovechkin early in the period.

Letang appeared to be fine after the hit, but he did leave late in the frame after blocking an Ovechkin shot. He appeared to have little weight on his right leg according to Seth Rorabaugh of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette..

The Penguins had no update after the game on his status.
