Michael Raffl Collapses on Flyers Bench

Not good. Early in the second period of Saturday night's contest between the Flyers and New York Rangers, play had to be stopped after Flyers forward Michael Raffl collapsed on the bench (video below). Raffl would need assistance getting to the locker room after the play stoppage.

Raffl had collided with Rangers forward Jarret Stoll shortly before, taking an elbow to the face.

The Flyers announced Raffl would not return at the end of the second period (obviously). This does not look good and it's a safe bet that Raffl will be subject to concussion protocol, as he should after an incident like this.
​
Here's hoping everything is OK with Raffl. The Flyers would win 3-2 in a shootout by the way.
