Pittsburgh Penguins star Kris Letang will be off the ice indefinitely after suffering a stroke, the team announced Wednesday.
"Kris reported symptoms to the training staff on Monday and was immediately taken to the hospital for testing," general manager Ron Hextall said in a statement. "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 is 35 years old.
