Penguins D Kris Letang is out indefinitely after he suffered a stroke on Monday, the team announced. This is the second stroke Letang has suffered (Feb. 2014). The Penguins confirmed his condition is not believed to be career-threatening.
“Kris reported symptoms to the training staff on Monday and was immediately taken to the hospital for testing,” Penguins general manager Ron Hextall said. “The test results were shocking to hear, but we are grateful that Kris is doing well. We are thankful to the medical staff and the physicians at UMPC. He is a warrior on the ice, but first and foremost, he is a son, father, husband and friend. His health is our number one priority.”Letang’s previous stroke was diagnosed in February 2014.
Additional medical tests revealed that Letang had suffered a stroke, and also that he had a small hole in the wall of his heart — a birth defect, University of Pittsburgh Medical Centers doctors said at the time, that could have led to the stroke.Letang was prescribed a six-week treatment with blood thinners, but he did not play again during the 2014-15 season.
