It was reported that Vancouver Canucks forward Jannik Hansen would remain in evaluation in the Canucks locker room following a brief collapse on Vancouver's player's bench in the second period of Saturday night's game against the Calgary Flames.
It would seem that he was ultimately checked out at the hospital, and the news is promising according to Canucks head coach Willie Desjardins:
Hansen was checked out at the hospital and everything looks good, according to Desjardins. #Canucks

"He came to the bench and couldn't catch his breath," said Canucks captain Henrik Sedin of the incident on the bench. "It was scary but he seems to be doing better."
Which is excellent news.
