Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk discharged from hospital

Eugene Melnyk is on the mend.

Two weeks after having liver transplant surgery, the Senators owner has been released from Toronto General Hospital, the Sun has learned.

The 56-year-old Melnyk had the eight-hour procedure two weeks ago. An update from the club is expected within the hour.

With Melnyk's life in danger the club went public three weeks ago looking for a donor to save him and more than 500 people came forward.

Before the decision was made to go public, the doctors exhausted all routes to try to find a match amongst Melnyk’s family and friends.
