Chicago Blackhawks winger Marian Hossa has been medically cleared by the team to play after his recovery from a concussion, according to a source.



The veteran was injured during Game 3 of the Western Conference quarterfinals against the Phoenix Coyotes in April, when he was illegally checked by Raffi Torres.

Hossa had been working out with Hawks team personnel in Chicago during the NHL lockout, but has been spending time in Florida since being cleared.
