Letang's 'legs were there' in return as Penguins win fifth in a row

Life comes at you fast. If you don't stop to look around once in a while, you might miss it.

Kris Letang surprised everybody when he joined the Penguins for practice at the UPMC Lemieux Complex in Cranberry on Thursday, just 10 days after suffering a stroke.

Two days later, Mike Sullivan surprised everybody when he mentioned prior to the Penguins' matchup with the Sabres that Letang would be available for the game.

Having missed just five games, Letang shockingly returned to the lineup here at PPG Paints Arena on Saturday as the Penguins beat the Sabres 3-1, rolling to their fifth win in a row.
