TSN’s Darren Dreger speculated Tuesday that there is a “slight chance” of a miracle return for Kris Letang during the Stanley Cup Final.

The Penguins have thrown cold water on that scenario.

“There is zero chance that Kris Letang will come back for this series,” Sullivan said Tuesday during a conference call.

One Penguins source said Letang is months away from having the strength needed in his neck to be cleared for any physical contact.
