View the original article to see embedded media.

The Penguins announced Wednesday that Kris Letang will be out indefinitely after the 35-year-old suffered his second stroke. 

General manager Ron Hextall said the defenseman reported symptoms on Monday to the training staff and “was immediately taken to the hospital for testing.” He continued, “The test results were shocking to hear, but we are grateful that Kris is doing well. We are thankful to the medical staff and the physicians at UPMC. He is a warrior on the ice, but first and foremost, he is a son, father, husband and friend. His health is our number one priority.”
