CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Blackhawks forward Jujhar Khaira has been released from a hospital after he was leveled by Jacob Trouba during a 6-2 loss to the New York Rangers. Team physician Michael Terry says Khaira underwent “extensive testing.” Terry says Khaira is expected to make a full recovery, but it’s too early to put a timeline on his return to the ice. Khaira was stretchered off after the hit by Trouba during the second period. After Khaira was released from the hospital, the Blackhawks plaed him on injured reserve. The team cited the NHL’s concussion protocol.
