Kris Letang back in full equipment, taking shots one week after suffering stroke
One week ago, Pittsburgh Penguins defenceman Kris Letang suffered a stroke and it was unclear when he would return to the ice, but it was also the last thing on everyone's mind as his health is much more important.
Prior to Pittsburgh's morning skate on Tuesday, Letang was back on the ice and in full equipment, taking shots on net, which is a huge step for the 35-year-old and a great sight to see for any hockey fan.
The Montreal native was set to become an unrestricted free agent back on July 13th, but one week before hitting the open market, he decided to re-sign with the Penguins, inking a five-year deal worth $36.6 million ($6.1 million AAV).
