Letang rejoins Penguins for practice

CRANBERRY, Pa. -- Kris Letang was a full participant in the Penguins' practice in Cranberry on Sunday morning for the first time since he was injured.

Letang left the Penguins' Nov. 4 game in Boston with a lower-body injury. Mike Sullivan said on Nov. 16 that Letang had resumed skating on his own.

Letang skated alongside his regular defense partner Brian Dumoulin throughout practice and worked with the top power play unit, good signs that he is close to making a return.

More to come after practice.
