Penguins' Marc-Andre Fleury back to full practice from concussion

PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury returned to practice Tuesday for the first time since being sidelined by a concussion earlier this month.

Fleury has missed Pittsburgh's past six games since reporting concussion-like symptoms after a loss to Washington on Dec. 14.

He was a full participant in practice Tuesday and faced shots for the first time since the diagnosis. Fleury said that he was a little rusty but that otherwise he felt pretty good. Coach Mike Sullivan called Fleury's presence at practice "progress" but declined to issue a timetable for Fleury's return.

The Penguins are 2-4 without their top goaltender.

Defenseman Kris Letang also practiced Tuesday. Letang was held out of a loss to Winnipeg on Sunday as a precaution after taking a shot to the head in a win over Minnesota on Saturday.
