Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Jonas Gustavsson was examined by cardiac specialists in Toronto after leaving Tuesday's game against the Montreal Canadiens, playing only one period of the game. Gustavsson has had heart problems this season. He underwent heart surgery to repair a problem that caused an abnormal heart rhythm.
"I'm not going to be responsible for someone keeling over during a game," said Wilson after the Leafs' triumph. "The game's not that important." General Manager Brian Burke said Gustavsson did not need to spend the night in a hospital after Tuesday's incident.
