Pittsburgh Penguins defenceman Kris Letang will remain out of action for the time being with an undisclosed illness.
Rob Rossi of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports that though Letang's illness is not believed to be life threatening, the team does not know when he will play again.
Letang has not played with the Penguins since January 27, and last skated with the team on January 30.
The team reportedly plans to update his condition on Friday.

That they have to even reference "not believed to be life threatening" is pretty scary stuff. I hope that he's all right.

wowo, that is scary since he is only 26yrs old
Pens will miss him but needs to take care and recover, so he can return and play like his self.

paryers go out to him for sure and take time to rest and heal, hockey will be there for your return

Stroke at 26. Two things can cause this at that age. Genetics and everyone will yell at me for this, some sort of drug. Does anybody know if Letang took HGH?

If you had looked at either of the two linked articles within the thread, you could have easily found out that it was a condition since birth. Really, even 5 seconds of googling would have told you that. That's why people yell at you.

So Genetic then. I guess I was right.
