DETROIT -- Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang twice left a game against the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday night after appearing to injure his left knee.
Letang got tangled up with Detroit's Thomas Vanek early in the first period of Pittsburgh's 6-3 loss and twisted awkwardly on his way down to the ice. He got up slowly and tried to keep weight off his left skate as he went toward the dressing room.
Letang returned briefly later in the first, but he left again and didn't return, finishing with just 2:06 of total ice time.
