Montreal Canadiens forward Jacob de la Rose suffered a cardiac episode and will not make the trip to Toronto for the team's season opener against the Maple Leafs on Wednesday, the club announced Tuesday.
The incident occurred during Saturday's game against the Ottawa Senators, according to TSN's John Lu. Team doctors didn't clear de la Rose to travel so he will remain in Montreal for further evaluation.
The 23-year-old Swede tallied 12 points in 55 games with the Habs a year ago. He inked a two-year, $1.8-million contract with the club this past summer.
