They are actually, part of the opening day physicals is a routine EKG/ECG. I believe this is mandatory for all NHL teams as of this year, regardless of age.
It was actually the routine EKG that produced a "blip" on Peverley and caused him to be held out of the lineup and lead to the diagnosis of his condition.
