OTTAWA - Gatineau Olympiques co-captain Yannick Dube is recovering in hospital after undergoing treatment for a pulmonary embolism Saturday, team officials said Monday.
He is in stable condition in the intensive care unit at the Sacre-Couer Hospital in Hull.
A pulmonary embolism occurs when a blockage travels through the bloodstream to one of the main arteries of the lung, and symptoms include difficulty breathing, chest pains and palpitations. If untreated, it is potentially fatal.
