Kris Letang Returns 12 Days After A Stroke
2 years agoPittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang was back in action Saturday against Buffalo just 12 days after suffering a stroke. He logged 22:14 of ice time and helped his team to a 3-1 victory with three blocks and seven hits. The veteran star also picked up two penalty minutes. It's some story, with Letang having sat out only five games because of the stroke. It wasn't his first stroke either, as Letang also suffered one in 2014. He ended up missing over two months back then, with tests revealing that he was born with a very small hole in the wall of his heart. Letang has tallied 12 points in 22 games this season, and hopefully, he will be able to remain in the lineup for the rest of the way.
