UPDATE: Pre-Game Notes (Pittsburgh VS Philadelphia) - Letestu Returns!!

LETESTU
UPDATE: the Pens webpage confirmed that Letestu will be back in the lineup tonight against Philly!!
"I just talked to coach and he's throwing me out there," Letestu said. "It's like Groundhog Day for me. I've been through this once before. Hopefully, I'll have the same kind of game that I had coming back from the other injury tonight."
Mark Letestu returned to the ice with his teammates for this morning's skate and reclaimed his position centering the top line which looks like a good sign he'll be back in the lineup soon, if not tonight but nothing has been confirmed

LINE COMBINATIONS (projected from the morning skate)
Neal-Letestu-Kovalev
Kunitz-Staal-Kennedy
Dupuis-Talbot-Conner
Rupp-Adams-Asham

THIESSEN / JOHNSON
Brad Thiessen was re-assigned to WBS this morning, so Brent Johnson is back at it (and skated this morning as well as with his teammates)
