Kris Letang’s professional hockey career

The Pittsburgh Penguins chose the defenseman Kris Letang in the third round of the 2005 NHL entry draft with the 62nd overall pick. Letang made his awaited NHL debut in the 2006-2007 season after making up to the Penguins squad after training camp.

He made his mark quickly, scoring his first NHL goal in just his third game to help his team defeat Henrik Lundqvist and the New York Rangers 6-5. Kris Letang saw some hiccups despite his excellent start, which included two goals throughout seven games. After being omitted from the starting lineup twice, he was returned to Val-d'Or to continue growing as a player.

Letang began participating in AHL games with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton squad at the beginning of the 2007–2008 campaign. However, the Pittsburgh Penguins were instantly impressed by his remarkable performance of seven points in ten games, which prompted his speedy recall to the NHL.

Letang and Tyler Kennedy received invitations to the 2008 NHL YoungStars Game, held over the All-Star weekend, thanks to their outstanding rookie seasons with the Penguins. Letang showed his abilities and contributed substantially during the season, scoring 17 points in 63 games.
