Vancouver, BC (SportsNetwork.com) - Vancouver Canucks forward Jannik Hansen collapsed on the bench during the second period of Saturday's game against the Calgary Flames and had to be helped to the locker room.
Canucks coach Willie Desjardins said after the game that Hansen was evaluated at the hospital and appeared better.
"I don't think there's going to be a problem," said Desjardins. "Everything looks good."
Shortly after taking a hit from Calgary's Dennis Wideman, Hansen skated to the Vancouver bench and remained hunched over. He appeared to go limp as his teammates helped and quickly banged their sticks on the boards for the officials to stop play.
Medical personnel rushed to Hansen's aid and helped him into the locker room.
"It's concerning," Desjardins added. "He seemed like he couldn't get his breath there. He kind of went down. When that happens it's not usual, so you're concerned. But everything's checked out at the hospital and everything is fine."
