The Penguins are ready to wrap up this game against the New York Rangers at Consol and head off for the Olympics in Sochi! The Penguins want to get a win and keep the momentum going before they have two weeks off. The Penguin fans got some scary news today as GM Ray Shero announced that Kris Letang had a stroke. It was due to a small hole in his heart, which he has had since birth. The doctors say he will be out for about six weeks, but it won't jeopardize his hockey career. Hopefully everything turns out good and he gets a full bill of health! Here is to keeping Letang in our thoughts! The Penguins need to come out strong and with speed, put points up on the board and don't look back! Lets Go Pens!
