Dan Boyle has returned home following a night in the hospital after a hit by Maxime Lapierre of the St. Louis Blues.

"It was an emotional day," Todd McLellan said.

"I'm OK," he wrote in a text to David Pollock of the San Jose Mercury News. "That was scary. Hopefully the symptoms will be very minor, if any, going forward."

Lapierre reached out to Boyle to apologize.
