Vancouver Canucks forward Alex Burrows won't be available to play in the rest of the team's first-round Western Conference quarterfinal series against the Calgary Flames.
Head coach Willie Desjardins told reporters Wednesday that Burrows is out for the series, but said the forward's injury isn't a major one.
"It's nothing serious," Desjardins said.
Burrows was taken to hospital Tuesday after suffering an upper-body injury at the morning skate.
He was ruled out of the Canucks' Game 4 loss and released from hospital early Wednesday morning. Desjardins said Burrows remains in Calgary.
The Canucks host the Flames in Game 5 on Thursday at Rogers Arena.
