Pittsburgh Penguins defenceman Kris Letang is already back on the ice and 'making progress' after being ruled out indefinitely after having a stroke.
General manager Ron Hextall announced on Tuesday that Letang had suffered his second career stroke after initially reported symptoms last Monday. Letang missed their recent defeat to Carolina Hurricanes after being sidelined with 'illness', but Hextall then confirmed that he had suffered a stroke.
Thankfully for Letang, the Penguins said that his situation is not 'life threatening', and the NHL star is not experiencing 'any lasting effects'. And Letang has already taken part in light skating, after reassuring fans he is "optimistic" about returning to action.
