On Tuesday, Columbus Blue Jackets head coach John Tortorella underwent a procedure to remove a skin cancer growth from his forehead, according to Aaron Portzline of the Athletic.
Tortorella called the procedure "relatively minor."
Tortorella returned to the Blue Jackets on Wednesday morning for practice and is not expected to miss any games.
This is Tortorella's fifth year behind the Blue Jackets bench. Columbus currently sits seventh place in the Metropolitan division with a 2-3-0 record.
