Skate report: Letang goes for a 'twirl' on the ice, in upbeat mood following stroke

Some scary news dropped on Wednesday when the Penguins announced that Kris Letang suffered a stroke on Monday.

His condition is not considered to be career-threatening, and he will continue to go undergo medical testing over the next week.

Following the Penguins' optional morning skate prior to their 7:08 p.m. game against the Golden Knights here at PPG Paints Arena on Thursday, Mike Sullivan said Letang is continuing to do well, and that he has already made his way back to the ice for a non-hockey-related skate at the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex in Cranberry.
