TORONTO — The Montreal Canadiens say head coach Claude Julien is returning home to Montreal a day after he had a stent installed in a coronary artery.

Julien was rushed to St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto overnight Wednesday as he was experiencing chest pain and had surgery Thursday.

The Canadiens said in a release that doctors expect a full recovery.

Since Julien left the NHL bubble in Toronto, he will have to follow quarantine protocol if he wishes to re-enter it.

According to the protocol, team members wanting to return to the bubble must provide four consecutive negative COVID-19 tests carried out over four days. They will be quarantined over at least that time period, and possibly up to 14 days depending on risk of exposure while outside the bubble.
