Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang is sidelined a minimum of four weeks due to a broken foot, the team said Saturday.
Letang, who was placed on injured reserve Saturday, joined forward Evgeni Malkin in missing practice on Friday. Malkin reportedly is being plagued by the same shoulder injury he sustained in December.
Letang, 38, has recorded 25 points (three goals, 22 points) in 50 games this season.
A two-time Stanley Cup champion and two-time All-Star, Letang has recorded 797 points (178 goals, 619 assists) in 1,211 games since Pittsburgh drafted him in the third round in 2005.
He ranks third in franchise history in games behind longtime teammates Sidney Crosby (1,404) and Malkin (1,250).
