The Toronto Maple Leafs say captain John Tavares has been discharged from hospital and will be out of the playoffs “indefinitely” following a frightening collision in Thursday night’s game against the Montreal Canadiens. 

The 30-year-old was taken off the ice on a stretcher and transported to hospital after colliding with Montreal’s Ben Chiarot in the first period. He was hit in the head by Corey Perry’s knee as he fell.

The Leafs say Tavares was thoroughly examined and assessed by the neurological team at St. Michael’s Hospital
