\"\"Kris Letang, 35, defenseman for Pittsburgh Penguins suffered a stroke – his second stroke to be exact.<\/p>\n

Letang, a native of Montreal, Quebec, recognized and reported the symptoms to the training staff, who in turn, got him immediately to hospital.<\/p>\n

In 2014, Kris Letang sustained his first stroke and was out of the game for about two months. The cause of the first stroke was due to a small hole in the wall of his heart. Everyone is born with this condition, but it generally closes on its own.<\/p>\n

We wish Kris Letang all the best in his recovery and his return to the game of hockey.<\/p>\n
