Canadiens coach Claude Julien was released from the hospital and will return home to Montreal to rest after having a stent inserted into his coronary artery, the team announced Friday.

Julien was admitted to St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto on Wednesday after experiencing chest pains following his team's 2-1 loss in Game 1 of its first-round playoff series against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Doctors expect a full recovery, the team said.
