Philip Larsen is heading home.
The Vancouver Canucks defenseman was discharged from hospital and medically cleared to return to British Columbia, the club announced Wednesday.
Larsen was stretchered off following a hit by New Jersey Devils forward Taylor Hall in the second period Tuesday night.

The Canucks have four games remaining on a five-game road trip to Florida, D.C., and North Carolina. They'll be back in Vancouver next Friday to host the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first game of a four-game homestand.
Larsen is celebrating his 27th birthday Wednesday.
The Danish-born blue-liner is averaging just over 17 minutes of ice time and has four points in 17 contests.
