Former Islanders captain Kenny Jönsson has been going through some very serious health issues for the last few weeks, according to a report in Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet.
Jönsson, 41, was rushed to the hospital by ambulance earlier this month while coaching a youth team at the TV-Puck hockey tournament, after feeling ill and vomiting in his hotel room. He was later diagnosed with an infection in his small intestine, which then resulted in blood poisoning. Jönsson was placed in intensive care, and was also suffering from dehydration and sepsis, a condition that often follow an infection.
