Flyers’ Michal Neuvirth Home From Hospital After Collapsing During Game

There was a scary moment during Saturday night’s game between the Philadelphia Flyers and New Jersey Devils.

As the teams prepared for a faceoff at center ice during the first period, Flyers goalie Michal Neuvirth collapsed in his crease. Neuvirth remained unconscious for a brief moment before he began moving his arms and legs. He was placed on a stretcher and taken to the hospital for further evaluation.

But the Flyers announced some good news regarding Neuvirth on Sunday.

“We sent him to the hospital for precautionary reasons, and everything so far has been good,” Flyers general manager Ron Hextall said, per The Sporting News.

Neuvirth made six saves before the incident and was credited with the win after the Flyers defeated the Devils 3-0.
