Actually, yes. Teams already have to send proper reports for LTIR/cap compliance purposes, and given the league partially judges suspension length by result of incident, there is no reason to think the league didn't request a copy of the medical report.
In fact, if the NHL doesn't trust what they are told, they can have their own doctors check the player out. The fines for making things up in this regard are huge.
