Edmonton Oilers forward Colby Cave has died aged 25, four days after having surgery to remove a colloid cyst on his brain.
Cave had been placed in a medically induced coma after the operation at a Toronto hospital.
"It is with great sadness to share the news that our Colby Cave passed away early this morning," his family said in a statement on the NHL club's website.
"We thank everyone for their prayers during this difficult time."
In four NHL seasons with the Oilers and Boston Bruins, Canadian Cave played 67 games, scoring four goals and providing five assists.
His wife Emily had said on Thursday that Cave's family had not been able to visit him in hospital because of the coronavirus pandemic.
"Colby was a terrific team-mate with great character, admired and liked everywhere he played," said Oilers chairman Bob Nicholson.
NHL legend Wayne Gretzky wrote on Twitter: "He was a wonderful hockey player with a bright future, but an even better person. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Emily and his entire family."

British motor racing legend Sir Stirling Moss dies at the age of 90 following a long illness
He is widely regarded as one of the greatest Formula 1 drivers of all time, even though he did not win the World Championship.
Moss retired from public life in January 2018 because of ongoing health problems.
He spent 134 days in hospital after suffering a chest infection while on holiday in Singapore in December 2016.
Moss won 16 of the 66 F1 races he competed in from 1951 to 1961.
He became the first British driver to win a home grand prix in 1955 at Aintree.
Moss famously lost out on the F1 title in 1958 to compatriot Mike Hawthorn after vouching for his rival and preventing him being disqualified when he was accused of reversing on track in the late-season Portuguese Grand Prix.
Four times a runner-up in the F1 drivers' championship, he was named BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 1961.
Together with his fine F1 career, Moss was regarded as a motor-racing all-rounder and racked up a total of 212 victories in all competitions.
He was an outstanding rally driver and in 1955 set a new course record in winning the famous Mille Miglia, a 1,000-mile race around Italy.
Moss was effectively forced to retire from top-level motorsport in 1962 after a crash at Goodwood left him in a coma for a month and partially paralysed for six months.
However, he continued to race in historic cars and legends events until the age of 81.
He is survived by his third wife, Susie.
