BREAKING: Pittsburgh Penguins Kris Letang has suffered a Stroke

Hockey players keep themselves in impeccable cardio vascular shape, so it seems a little shocking to hear that athletes can suffer such issues, but surprisingly, this isn't the first time Letang has suffered one.

In 2014, Letang had his first stroke. He went public with his condition, Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) to help raise awareness. He returned to playing just a short 8 weeks after.

Wow. #pens announce defenseman Kris Letang is out indefinitely after suffering a stroke on Monday.

Team says he is "not experiencing any lasting effects" and will continue to undergo tests over the next week. He reported symptoms on Monday.

Kris reported symptoms to the training staff on Monday and was immediately taken to the hospital for testing. 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.

Mike Sullivan on Kris Letang: «He means a lot to the team, he means a lot to the players. You could see the concern on their faces when I informed them after the game. Knowing this group the way I know them, they'll rally around this. They'll rally around Kris.»� Taylor Haase (@TaylorHaasePGH) November 30, 2022
