Kris Letang Skating With Regular Jersey Again
2 years agoPittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang (heart) skated with a regular jersey in Thursday's practice just 10 days after suffering the second stroke of his career. It's still unclear when and if Letang can return to action, but it's certainly a very encouraging sign to see him back at practice so soon after the incident. He missed a little over two months after his first stroke. Even at 35, Letang has remained a vital piece for Pittsburgh at both ends of the ice, recording 12 points in 21 games this season with 44 hits and 34 blocks. He's been out for four games and Jeff Petry has led all skaters in ice time each time in Letang's absence, recording two points with seven shots, 17 hits and 10 blocks.
