Toronto Maple Leafs captain John Tavares was discharged from the hospital Friday morning after suffering a concussion in a scary collision during Thursday night's playoff game against the Montreal Canadiens.

The Maple Leafs said Tavares was "thoroughly examined and assessed" by the St. Michael's Hospital neurosurgical team and the team's medical director. He was "conscious and communicating well" overnight. Tavares is back at home resting under the care and supervision of Toronto team doctors.
