Anaheim Ducks center Justin Kirkland was released from the hospital Tuesday after he was involved in a car accident on his way to Sunday night’s game against the visiting Boston Bruins.
Kirkland, 26, has full mobility and has been communicating with family and teammates, according to the Ducks on Monday.
“We are thankful for the quick care and treatment Justin received from first responders and medical staff at UCI Health,” Ducks general manager Pat Verbeek said. “Justin is in great spirits.”
Kirkland signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Ducks on July 14. He made his NHL debut with Anaheim on Dec. 20 and did not record a point while playing in seven games with the team.
Kirkland has totaled 13 points (six goals, seven assists) in 19 games for the San Diego Gulls of the American Hockey League.
