Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang is out indefinitely after suffering a stroke for the second time in his career.
General manager Ron Hextall announced Tuesday that the 35-year-old Letang initially reported symptoms to the team's training staff on Monday. He was held out of Tuesday night's 3-2 overtime loss to Carolina with what the team called an illness.
This is the second stroke Letang has suffered during his 17-year career. The three-time Stanley Cup champion missed more than two months in 2014 after a stroke, which doctors determined was caused by a small hole in the wall of his heart.
