Peverley collapsed during a March 10 game against the Columbus Blue Jackets because of a cardiac event that began after a first-period shift. A few days later, he underwent a heart procedure at the Cleveland Clinic.

The 31-year-old forward will miss the rest of the season, and it’s unclear when/if he will return to the NHL.
