Penguins D Kris Letang returns to game action
Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang returned to game action Saturday night against the Buffalo Sabres 12 days after suffering a stroke.
Letang, 35, returned to practice on Thursday. He missed five games.
The three-time Stanley Cup champion suffered the stroke on Nov. 28. Letang missed more than two months in 2014 following a stroke. Tests at the time revealed he was born with a tiny hole in the wall of his heart.
