Columbus Blue Jackets minor leaguer Brett Gallant was released from hospital Saturday after collapsing on the bench during a game Friday night.
The 27-year-old forward for the Lake Erie Monsters was stabilized by the on-site medical personnel at Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto and was conscious before being taken to a local hospital, the AHL club confirmed.
Gallant traveled back to Cleveland, where he'll continue to consult with team doctors.
He was taken off the bench on a stretcher during Friday's game against the Toronto Marlies.
