Letang played in 34 games in the 2013–14 season before it was announced that he would miss six weeks after suffering a stroke. On March 16, 2014, Dan Bylsma, then-head coach of the Penguins, announced that Letang was cleared by doctors to return to full practice.
Pittsburgh’s top option on the back end missed the team’s two previous games – both losses – with an undisclosed injury.
