Former Bruins center Colby Cave, 25, was admitted to the intensive care unit at a Toronto hospital on Tuesday after suffering a brain bleed overnight.
According to the Edmonton Oilers, Cave’s current team, he had emergency surgery to remove a colloid cyst that was causing pressure on his brain. He remained in a medically induced coma at Sunnybrook Hospital early Tuesday evening.
Cave is from North Battleford, Saskatchewan, and his wife, Emily, is from Toronto. The couple married last summer.
Cave, who signed with the Bruins out of junior (WHL Swift Current) in 2015, played in 23 games with the varsity from 2017-19, recording a goal and four assists.
