The Vancouver Canucks are singing "Joy to the World" over the speedy return of Jannik Hansen.
The forward will be in the lineup for Monday's game against the Arizona Coyotes, the club has confirmed.
Hansen was hospitalized Saturday after collapsing on the bench following a collision with Calgary Flames defenseman Dennis Wideman.
Here's how Hansen described the incident to Sportsnet's Dan Murphy:
