New York Rangers forward Sean Avery was released from the hospital yesterday morning, five days after he suffered a season-ending spleen injury in a playoff game. Avery was in intensive care at St. Vincent's Medical Center from the time he was admitted Tuesday night, shortly after New York's Game 3 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins, until Saturday because of a lacerated spleen, Rangers spokesman John Rosasco said.
Avery, 28, is believed to have been injured during the early portion of Game 3.
