Ryan Johansen is on the mend.
The Nashville Predators center has been ruled out of the remainder of the Stanley Cup Playoffs after reportedly being diagnosed with acute compartment syndrome, and took to Twitter on Saturday to extend thanks to those who've wished him well.
I am forever thankful for the support and well wishes I have received the past few days. Feeling much better now.

He added that he would be watching Game 5 against the Anaheim Ducks from his hospital bed, and was later joined by fellow injured forward Kevin Fiala, who fractured his femur earlier in the playoffs.
