That sucks!!!Herniated disc
Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang will miss the rest of the 2016-17 NHL season, including the 2017 Stanley Cup playoffs, due to a herniated disc in his neck.
The Penguins announced Wednesday that Letang is set to undergo surgery to repair the ailment and will need a four-to-six-month recovery period.
The announcement included a statement from Pens general manager Jim Rutherford about the star defender's setback:
Kris underwent an MRI in February that revealed a herniated disc in his neck. Our neurosurgeons examined him and recommended conservative treatment in an attempt to correct the condition without surgery. Kris had been making progress and was hopeful of returning for the playoffs until about a week ago, when the progress plateaued. He underwent another MRI, and, at that point it was determined that surgery was needed.
It's a major blow to Pittsburgh's Cup hopes. The 29-year-old Montreal native is one of the team's most important players behind the tandem of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.
Letang had registered 34 points (five goals and 29 assists) in 41 games before getting sidelined with the injury in February. He scored 14 of those points as the quarterback on the Penguins power play.
Along with Jarry tonight.Jean-Sebastien Dea is making his NHL debut today.
Glad he ended up able to play.Sadly this might be how Chris Kunitz Penguins career ends:
