Vancouver Canucks forward Alex Burrows has been released from hospital but will remain in Calgary overnight as a precaution, coach Willie Desjardins told reporters.

Burrows was hospitalized after suffering a suspected broken rib at Tuesday's morning skate. He was initially expected to travel home with his teammates after Game 4. 

The Canucks say Burrows' injury was hockey related, no vital organs were involved and that it won't require surgery, but won't confirm the diagnosis.
