Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Jake Muzzin was discharged from the hospital early Wednesday morning and is back at the hotel, the team announced.
He will be unavailable for the remainder of the team's qualifying-round series against the Columbus Blue Jackets due to injury, but he will remain in quarantine within the hotel.
Late in Game 2 on Tuesday, Muzzin was cross-checked from behind by Blue Jackets forward Pierre-Luc Dubois. The hit caused Muzzin to awkwardly fall face-first into the leg of Columbus winger Oliver Bjorkstrand.
The league reportedly won't look into supplementary discipline for Dubois.
The series is tied heading into Game 3, which will take place Thursday at 8 p.m. ET.
