"Penguins center Jordan Staal and defenseman Kris Letang missed practice for a second consecutive day at Southpointe on Tuesday, but Penguins coach Dan Bylsma emphasized that he believes both will play in San Jose and Los Angeles later this week. Staal missed Saturday's game against Toronto with a lower-body injury.

"Continued maintenance recovering from bumps and bruises," Bylsma said.

Staal skated before practice for a second straight day.

The nature of Letang's injury is unknown, though Letang and Staal were seen at Southpointe walking without limps."
