Days after announcing he was in need of a new liver, Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk underwent a successful transplant Tuesday night.
According to the Senators, the anonymous donor and Melnyk are doing fine and resting comfortably. The University Health Network’s Multi-Organ Transplant Program will release an update on the progress of both later this week.
From the Senators:
Mr. Melnyk and his family would like to thank everyone for their continued support and wish to extend their immense gratitude to the anonymous donor and the donor’s family.
