Bruins' Jonas Gustavsson Cleared, Activated From IR

BOSTON (CBS) -- Boston Bruins backup goaltender Jonas Gustavsson has been medically cleared and is off injured reserve, the team announced Thursday.

Gustavsson was taken out of Boston's loss to Anaheim last Tuesday and rushed to the hospital with an elevated heartbeat, but his final tests came back OK and he's already rejoined the Bruins.

"The final testing is complete and all results have been reviewed by the Bruins Medical Staff. Jonas has been cleared to resume full on-ice participation with the team without any restrictions," the team said in a statement on Thursday.

To make room for Gustavsson on the roster, the Bruins assigned goaltender Malcolm Subban to Providence.

Gustavsson has appeared in 15 games for Boston this season, going 9-3-1 record while posting a 2.38 GAA and .915 save percentage.
