Report: Kris Letang gives an important update on his worrisome injury.

Important Details Unveiled by Letang

One of the big concerns for the fans in Pittsburgh has been the health of star defenseman Kris Letang. On top of being widely regarded as the team’s best defenseman Letang is a huge part of how the Penguins transition of out of their own zone, an ability that they will need if they hope to push through a what is shaping up to be a tough playoff bracket.

Monday morning following the team’s morning skate for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, Kris Letang met the media and gave an important update on his injury.

“I wore my skates a couple times,” he said. “I would say I have a couple more weeks before I have another appointment, and from there, I think I’ll get cleared for everything I can.” Said Letang to Bill West from the TRIB LIVE.

How Letang suffered his last injury is unclear and the team had been vague about his status leading some to believe it was either concussion- or stroke-related. The soon-to-be-30-year-old suffered a stroke in 2014 and has missed time during his career dealing with concussion symptoms.
