Penguins on the cusp of another Stanley Cup — despite missing Kris Letang for the postseason
The journey back to the Stanley Cup Final hasn’t been easy for the Penguins. Injuries plague every team during the two-month tournament. But for the Penguins to make it back to this point is truly a wonder considering they’ve been without their No. 1 defenseman for the entire postseason.

Neck surgery in April put him out for four to six months, and although there were rumblings of a very, very small chance he may return in the fina..>> view originalGodley, Drury lead Arizona past Brewers 3-2
