Peverley's visit to practice 'put a smile on' teammate Alex Chiasson's face
Dallas Stars players, coaches and executives alike were visibly (and understandably) shaken following the scary scenes on Monday night that saw forward Rich Peverley collapse on the bench after suffering a cardiac incident in the opening period of the game against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
None more so than Stars forward Alex Chiasson, who needed to be taken to hospital after experiencing an anxiety attack in the wake of Peverley's incident.
But following his release from hospital on Wednesday night, Peverley was able to pay a visit to his teammates during Thursday's practice.
Much to the delight of the young winger.
Rich Peverley stopped by practice today to see his teammates. "It put a smile on my face," said Alex Chiasson.

Peverley, who has been ruled out for the remainder of the season, will soon head to Cleveland to undergo surgery in an attempt fix the irregular heartbeat that was the cause of Monday night's scare.
