Pittsburgh Penguins defenceman Kris Letang is already out on the ice in full skating gear, less than two weeks are suffering the second stroke of his career.
The 35-year-old was ruled out indefienlty by the Penguins after it transpired he had experienced another stroke, after his first incident back in 2014. He missed their 3-2 defeat to Carolina Hurricanes on November 30 through 'illness', but it was later diagnosed as a stroke.
After the Penguins released an initial statement on December 1, Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan revealed a few days later that he was already making good progress, and had taken part in light skating. But on Tuesday morning he was filmed back out on the ice in full skating gear, firing pucks at the net in an astonishing turnaround.
