TORONTO (CP) - Defenceman Sandis Ozolinsh of the Anaheim Mighty Ducks has voluntarily entered treatment in the Substance Abuse & Behavioral Health program administered by the NHL and NHL Players' Association.
The program's doctors, Brian Shaw of the NHLPA and Dave Lewis of the NHL, will oversee Ozolinsh's care.
''The Mighty Ducks ownership, management, coaches and players are wholeheartedly behind Sandis and his family during this time and support his decision to seek professional help,'' Ducks GM Brian Burke said in a statement.
Ozolinsh has been out since Nov. 27 with a knee injury but was making strides in possibly coming back soon. He was also named to Latvia's Olympic team last week.
The 33-year-old had one goal and three assists in 13 games this season.
