Incredibly, Pittsburgh Penguins star Kris Letang has now returned to full practice with his team-mates just 10 days after having a stroke.
The 35-year-old defenceman is still listed as 'out' indefinitely, but has taken major strides in his recovery since suffering the second stroke of his career. Letang was absent as the Penguins lost to Carolina Hurricanes in overtime on November 29 due to 'illness', but medical teams very quickly realised the extent of his issues.
Letang continues to be monitored "day-to-day" but has since joined team training after initially taking to the ice on his own earlier this week. The Penguins star has been fairly private about his most recent ordeal, but has since opened up on another 'scary' experience.
