CRANBERRY, Pa. -- On Monday, Nov. 28, Kris Letang suffered a stroke that has sidelined him for each of the Penguins' last four games.
Only 10 days after the stroke, Letang hopped onto the ice on Thursday here at the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex in Cranberry and joined his teammates in a regular yellow jersey, indicating he is not limited in any capacity.
During line rushes, Letang rotated in on the Penguins' third defense pairing with P.O Joseph and Chad Ruhwedel.
According to Ron Hextall, the stroke Letang suffered is "much less severe" than the stroke he suffered in 2014 that kept him out for two months.
