PITTSBURGH — Kris Letang is out indefinitely after he suffered another stroke on Monday.
The Penguins say the 35-year-old defender is not experiencing any lasting effects of the stroke and will continue to undergo a series of tests over the next week. They added that Letang’s condition is not believed to be career-threatening.
General manager Ron Hextall said this stroke was “much less severe” than the one that Letang, a six-time All-Star defenseman, suffered eight years ago.
